I'm the Piper Man - Will You Follow Me

                 I’m the piper man
                    Will you follow me

                 Let yourself go, let yourself be
                    The journey starts – but shan’t end – with me

                 O’er meadow, hill, cross streams we’ll flow
                     Deep down inside ‘tis your desire, you know

                  Imagine infinite possibility
                      Unlock dormant ability

                  I’m the piper man: Will you follow me
                      Vita brevis* ~ Life's meant to be free  



                  _____________________________________________________
                  *Vita brevis means 'Life is short.' It's part of a Latin 
                   phrase, 'Ars longa, vita brevis,' which means, 'Art 
                   is long, life is short.'

"Imagine infinite possibility Unlock dormant ability" -- Great advice! I keep telling young people, and folks not doing so well~ it starts with taking a Job...any job to start. And be grateful for it.

Cool! Ordinarily, I wouldn’t follow the piper man, certainly not the pied piper, however this is one worth following! Love it! Fave ❤️

This is beautiful and, of course, I frolicked with you as I read and I'm still swaying along, Piper Man. Piper time would be play time and play time is freedom. I'm in. I may not leave. CayCay
