Accolades & Consequences!

Choices & Consequences!

 

Groupie-socialite Eve “craving” the popular-apple

Not-even-one-man Adam weakly “taking-orders”

 

Nearly all world-War II vets lived as “real”-men!

I am so very proud of these true-life men-“heroes”

Today!?---seek diligently…find even one-single “Man”

 

We have met the enemy---and…he is US (Pogo)

 

Lovely-Lady Auntie-Grace e-mailed a tribute to Steve Jobs.

And---he did very well, indeed…$10-billion + and dead at 56

On his death-bed lamenting an absent soul/spirit-soaring life

In the end---a $-tally…paled to a life of: Live! Love! Laugh!

 

Faith! Family! Freedom! Might just be all there really---Is!

In one eternal instant the only mercy blessing will be…His!

Amen!

 

My condolences---56 years & money…to learn: Truth! Love! Liberty!

 

Spiritual-friend Michael died at age 58---No-celebrity…No money

Rest-in-peace!---Mon Amie!...You did very well indeed…in Spirit!

 

In college, Michael dedicated his life and being to God. Spending time

in the University library upper-room he devoured the words of the Bible;

by age 23 he was a “Master-theologian”---albeit…sans the sheepskin.

 

I met him a decade and a half later---we became good friends…in-Spirit!

Over a profound 17 year-adventure, we blatantly explored---Faith!

His I-Q he never revealed---I said it was well beyond…the highest mark.

Socially-reclusive! Intellectually-contemplative! Knowledgably-inquiring!

Together---we intently-reverently challenged stated…Belief & Understanding.

That Sacred-Spiritual 17-year journey solidified my religious-foundation;

I think friend-Michael also gained positive-fashion through the experience.

 

On his death bed, I teasingly (with attempted humor) said to my dear friend:

“Let me know where you are!?” Absent hesitation: “I will---if…I can!?”

Celebrating his acumen-wit---laughing tearful-words…”I love you! Michael!”

 

Brilliant! Not unlike Steve Jobs, Michael lamented his vacancy of Family!

Each “Great”-man had chosen a path---succeeded…and, in-the-end, questioned.

Great-men!?---Indeed!...Great-er God! Amen!

 

Perhaps---Wisdom is not only of choices…but, in loving the Consequences!
