Like the quote says "you are only as old as the woman you feel." I am around Forty-five in this picture. Full disclosure I use to color my hair or it would be mostly white here. That too is who "I AM". At Sixty years old I have not colored my hair for at least a decade.
I AM
A Father.
A Son.
A Brother.
None are just titles.
I live those titles every day through my actions.
I am successful at those roles every day.
I possess unconditional unwavering love .
I AM
A Director
My profession as much as my titles defines me.
It is not just my career it is my love.
Directing theatre has my unconditional unwavering love.
I am successful at this role every day.
I AM
defined by my actions.
I act on my beliefs.
I AM
defined by my beliefs.
I believe in the fiber of someone's character
not their words,
in their intent not just their actions.
Peoples needs are important to me not just my own.
I AM
committed to forgiveness,
Humans are basically good.
The forest is dense predators lurk in the shadows.
Fear plays too important a role in too many lives.
I help others rather than judge them negatively.
I believe
Even though the task ahead seems insurmountable
we will find our way through the black of these days.
People with completely different views can and do bond.
I believe
We must learn tolerance for without it we are lost.
I believe
in priorities
I do not give too much importance
to words and ideas.
I learn from nature
like the mighty oak
I can bend with the wind.
I prefer more round tables,
less round 'em up.
In less locks
more open doors,
in more heart
less knee jerks.
I have the strength to accept I die
the will to live every day.
I worry about the incredible suffering
exists away from North America.
I Am
Love
above all else
Love
It is about put up
or shut up.
I am anything but silent.
I Am
one of many
in the end
that is who
I Am.
