thank you for allowing me to help...Oh and never limit yourself to comfort and security...you are...in truth...if not in fact...created for more....

Ya know gents and ladies when Glen Campbell was in his last days of alzimers and his music was basically bang and clang without the twang...I use that phrase with respect and artistic intent to juxta su pose..the hi and lows of his life...what I mean by that is that even as he went thru his maddening decline...his "self" wrote and sang a song about his then present wife...{more likely in his state of mind all of his loves}...it was something to the effect of...I will never miss you...punctuated by the counter intuitive line....My aim is to good...well as the guy with the parrot used to say ...back in the day....That's the Name of That Tune...I appreciate ALL the youse in all your own selves...willy nilly...silly billys…

For Logo, et all, taking your advice, a little out of comfort zone, but here goes:

I am, as life is, definitely in ebb and flo, like the ocean, touching hearts sometimes, missing the mark sometimes. Life bounces around, like beads of water sent from a quiet wave, a wave that rolls out the beads and spray into..infinity. Often I lie awake, dreaming and envisioning and waiting, for water falling over water, flowing endlessly, and believing another wave will rock and roll me again with its mystical Majesty.
Winging it.(never been a surfer, but enjoy watching waves)

Which reminds me of a slang clearance we used to give pilots (the regulars} instead of a landing clearance..."you got the nod...hit the sod "...that along with "freak out" when you were assigning a frequency change and of course linda rondstats "blew bayou" when we changed the sequence for an irratating pilot....ah...it brings tears to me eyes...
