Lifestyles

When traveling, the lives I see Are different from my own, The choices made unlike the ones That I have ever known. It's really not a question of What's better or what's worse, Though if you questioned others, They might answer the reverse. To me, I think our journeys, Whether minuscule or long, Encourage us to gravitate To where we best belong. So when I'm someplace else I note The lovely things I see, But know the lifestyle that I chose Works perfectly for me.

I'm delighted to read that you have not lost your wonderful touch - why can't more folk see, believe and write this way. Keep up the good work - are you published yet? You certainly should be.

It's like a pair of comfortable shoes. It's really quite simple, the choices we chose. We've walked down this road and carried our load. It's who we are, all these patches we've sewed. So when we see the image that's not in reverse. It's ok if you're male and you carry a purse.

Governments know it is easy to hate your "enemy" when its a cartoon character, but not so easy eye-to-eye where "difference" is not so apparent. Remember, "How can you keep them down on the farm after they've seen gay Par-ee?" Nothing better than seeing the world through your own eyes! Aloha! Rico
