Always been blessed with “stick-to-it-ness”
Got it from my dear old dad
He once rode a bike three hundred sixty miles
Took four days each way, egad!
At any age, that's quite an accomplishment
But my dad was sixty years old
From Montreal to Toronto and back again
A feat so gruelling, so bold
A wee one of ten back in nineteen forty-six
Didn't hit me till many years later
The impact of his enormous accomplishment
It then seemed a whole lot greater
Been telling this proud tale wherever I go
Bout inheriting his “stick-to-it-ness”
Don't think I can even come close to matching
The resolve and dedication he possessed
When I was young I didn’t think
In terms of accomplishment
I guess my ego wasn’t developed enough
To have the perspective and appreciation
To consider it all worthwhile, but
I also think those childhood achievements
Pleased my parents more than myself.
By the time I was done with school
What I accomplished were the simply things
I did just living a life
And following my own path.
For a while there I was inordinately proud
Of the house and home I built,
Then the arduous spiritual practices
Which took ages to accomplish
And replaced ordinary pride
With the sublime pride of the Deity.
Then eventually and thankfully
Came a family to raise
And career to pursue,
All of which seemed
Like a worthwhile accomplishment
Then and now.
Then came retirement
And the creation and accumulation,
If not accomplishment, of ten thousand things
Climbing routes, paintings and poems,
Gardens, orchards and long hikes;
The culmination of a gentlemanly life of leisure.
Now when much of that too
Has lost its charm
Accomplishments are measured more simply
Daily and immediately,
By the feeding of dogs on schedule
And the scooping of their poop,
By watching the arboretum thrive and grow,
Keeping it watered and mowed.
Eventually I know there will come a time
When the charms of even these simple pleasures
Will lose their hold
And I will be left with just accomplishing
Another morning
Another day
Another night
Another breath…
Until even the karma
Of that bit of accomplishment
Is exhausted
And I will have at last
Achieved the goal of this life;
To go in peace, without a trace.

We all love and applaud the winners
As we feel sorry for the losers
We love women, without them, we're nobody
Women are the fruits and the gems of our society
Whoopee! Congratulations to the USA Women's Soccer Team
For winning their fourth World Cup. This is a dream
For everybody to be champions
This is an outstanding accomplishment
Let's all enjoy this wonderful moment
Hurrah! Yippee! These women are heroes of actions
We are proud of them. They deserve at least equal pay
For equal work. I pray that nothing stands in their way
Thank you for the great soccer/football skills
That you have shown throughout the tournament
In France.Your ladies are lovely, winsome and elegant
You inspire me and give me enough energies and chills
To never give up, to work hard or to strive to succeed
May God grant all good health to survive and to lead!

According to His standards for our faith’s guide all the days
Midst changes with compromises’ case
Since we must continue winning along life’s race.

MEMORABLE
Happiest moment blessed me
to hold my daughter in my arms.
Seemed to realise divine charms
sinking in ethereal glee.
Devoted to rear and nurture.
Acted as her mentor, idol
to access success reaching goal.
Me whelmed floating in rapture.
Honouring me on her birthday,
Daughter of my heart just voiced
a sentence and I had rejoiced :
' Mom is light of my life , I say. '
I answered at once, prompt and quick.
'You are my greatest achievement :
My success and accomplishment.
Life long satisfaction to seek.'
The headlights were upon me, with no time to react
My mind and body shut down, so I never felt the hard impact
I remembered not using my seatbelt; I didn’t want to wrinkle my new suit
I was being honored for an accomplishment in my lifelong work pursuit
When my life flashed before my eyes, I was disappointed with what I saw,
There was no rhyme to its reason; there were no answers to any cause.
I saw a lifetime of selfishness with vanity as its only gain
I prayed for a miracle to allow me to change my awful aim
The first lights that I saw looked like heaven’s pearly gates
Then I heard those beeping sounds from hospital machines that I hate
No one was in the room with me, for reasons my vision made perfectly clear
But I had been given a second chance and there was nothing left for me to fear
It took a year for me to recover, with plenty of scars to mark the way
But now I had a mission; I visited the children’s ward almost every day
I met a lovely therapist who soon would be my beautiful wife
And now I had new purpose to go along with my brand new life
The papers all reported about the horrific accident that I had
They said it changed a corporate mogul into a simpleton, gone half-mad
I gave away all my money to charities that wear other peoples' names
But I am richer in my poverty than at any other time in this game
I give thanks to that driver, who fell asleep behind the wheel
And I don’t care that there’s no one who quite understands just how I feel
The old me died that night and as answers to my desperate prayers
A man with rhyme to reason is now left standing here
November light and colors stream in
through the window
and I notice it, like in the eye of a storm,
a whirlwind that has included pain and creativity
but always distraction –
of strivings and graspings at
accumulation and accomplishment.
And in a moment – of sun, sound and color –
it all settles to be just this;
Everyone, everywhere burning like so many
points of light
like on a Christmas tree, connected by strings
amid the tinsel and baubles and
homemade ornaments of meaning.
Light that knows no division of inside or out,
me or you,
us or them.
(11/2/2010, from my first collection of poems and stories, THE HEART OF IT, 2015)
Often it is I wonder of things my life’s supplied
Some things I had wanted - others were denied
Some things I planned, oh so carefully
Other things just happened, rather naturally
There are people I have met, all those places that I’ve seen,
And, of course, all those other things wedged tightly in between
Ah … such a marvel, all those things that I have done
I wonder now, when this life ends: Will there be another one?
Can it ever end, Nature’s Grand Scheme of things?
Does it go on forever, in other worlds of happenings?
Does it abruptly end, in a chasm dark and cold,
Or is there another world of wonders to behold?
If there is another world in which we will abide
I’ve not heard from anyone who’s reached that “other side”
I guess it matters not, while it is we live and breathe
But another world beyond this one – I simply can’t conceive.
How could it be much better, when we think of things right here
Sunlight, fresh air, and … holding someone dear?
Seasons come and go with each its’ wondrous fare
To think there’s something better – oh, I mustn’t dare!
To travel down the Road of Life my being has supplied
Allowed me to absorb those things taken in my stride
And assisting in my absorption of those things I did accrue
Many would not have come to me, without the person who is you.
“I’m not Worried About AI”
Some people worry that AI will
Take over this world
Not me
I’m not worried about AI because:
AI can’t
Bust up laughing when it trips over its feet in front of a cute guy
Or
Feel the overwhelming sense of accomplishment after finishing its first marathon
AI can’t
Feel the depths of heartbreak from losing a baby
Or
Lose itself in the eyes of a person who just asked it to marry them
AI can’t
Have faith so strong that it is able to forgive someone who stole from them
Or
Experience serene gratitude as it bathes in the warmth of the sun
AI can’t
Burst with pride as it watches their child graduate from high school
Or
Surrender to the involuntary waves of an ****** as it makes love under the moonlight
AI
Will never know our reality
That is why
I'm not worried about AI

along Your whispering voice of compassion
Thank You for seeking my heart and its chambers to check my passion
As You move me to worship You midst fulfillment of Your great commission
Away from provocations of fleshly and carnal mission.
