China "Doll" example

Dreamers---&…Do-“ers”

 

I “dabble” in the written word occasionally intending “rhyme” in a

purposed-effort to evoke some pointed-emotion or self-serving theme.

 

“Dreamers” just might make the world go ’round; Do-“ers”, being the

reality-pragmatists, go around the world. Confess I am the vacant former.

 

It is, indeed, one thing to spin a “good” story; quite another accomplishment

to actually Live each event as the awesome-adventure worthy life challenges.

 

Lovely Miss Laura personifies the quintessence of the sacred Independent-Individual!

 

Lovely Lady Grace (I know quite a few “lovelies”) seemingly liked or appreciated

some of my “rhyme-time” poetic offerings enough that she shared them with a learned

friend, Miss Laura, who happened to publish the weekly paper at their church. Turns

out that the erudite editor found a similarity in my rhyme efforts to a real poet whom she admired; eventually, Miss Laura published some of my efforts in the Sunday bulletin. Merci!

 

Finally, I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Miss Laura, personally, at a church function. Already a “fan”, I found myself enamored by her “presence” perfectly packaged in a

demure sophisticated pleasant presentation of intellectual, yet, humble, cool class-confidence.

Multi-lingual Laura is fluent in English, French and, I guess, Mandarin Chinese; I struggle

with English, fake a few words of French and Spanish, know a couple of German tags, but

 can hold my own in any linguistic-conversation embracing some 3-Stooges “Pig Latin”!

 

Laura read a poetry selection for the assemblage. No! Not my “poor” rendition, but, rather,

some syncopated-cadenced deep subject-matter delivered with impeccable taste and tempo.

 

I write my personal “Dreams”; Miss Laura lives the waiting adventure in reality-space.

Humble “I” espouse the spirit of the sacred Independent-Individual; Laura is the “I-I”!

 

In the vista of a short period of time through space, Lady Grace announced that our

enviable Lovely Lady Laura was trekking to China for a teaching opportunity on a

two-year hiatus. Wow! With her kind permission, I now salute her charming resolution.

 

It seems lacking, in light of Laura’s daring, to be just an “ordinary” mundane dreamer;

her intrepid free-spirit soar dulls the “luster” of mythical-pretend childlike make-believe.

 

I have a young Oregon friend who traversed the world exploring all seven

Continents by the tender age of nineteen!  How? One step at a time! Easy! Amen!

 

Yeah! I am but a lowly humble-“Dreamer”; but, my “heroes” are “Do-ers”! S-A-L-U-T-E!

 

Abandon any mundane material “treasures” which hold no truly sacred “measures”.

For I have tasted sweet the sugar-honey candy-lick of sacred-offered gift life-space.

 

Dare kiss the teasing hue of dawn, embrace high noon, rest in the alabaster-pale full moon!

 

Challenge life! Dare Dream---Big! Like Miss Laura---just…Do it! Amen!  Mon Amie!
