My approach to life has always been
One of lightheartedness and just happy to be alive
However, I recall my early years, especially my teenage years
When I was filled with self-doubt
Thought of myself as quite unattractive and lacking in people skills
Until I got out in the working world
And realized my humour helped push me through
I discovered people love to laugh
It helps them through their gruelling day at the office
Humour has carried me through my whole life
Through my good times and especially through the tough times
My motto is, “if I can't change things...
Oh well, this is the way it is, so no sense being unhappy forever”
Though at times it can be extremely difficult
I've always manage to eventually laugh at life
I've discovered it's the only way to survive
I'm not suggesting that everyone is capable of this
But it's my secret to a long and happy life
So there you have it... why I'm known as “Jester Jack”
A title of which I am so very very proud!
I'm just happy to be alive!

Gavin, help me.
Your innocence is coveted now, you see.
I’ve fallen for this girl.
She’s got hearts in a wild twirl.
Noah, help me.
This courage runs away through the trees.
I’ve fallen for this girl;
Now she’s the only valuable pearl.
Jacob, help me.
Could use your shoulder to lean.
I’ve fallen for this girl,
While searching for her like a URL.
Jefferson, help me.
Still need the knowledge to an extended degree.
I’ve fallen for this girl,
But she makes it so hard to uncurl.
Matthew, help me.
When do we act? What’s the key?
I’ve fallen for this girl.
Right timing isn’t something you can feel.
Lily, help me.
You and your insights know how this works.
I’ve fallen for this girl.
Oughta give this a whirl.
Dominic, help me.
Care to offer a little wisdom to thee?
I’ve fallen for this girl,
Now it’s hard to see her as someone real.
Gia, help me.
Your lightheartedness is like the calming sea.
I’ve fallen for this girl,
And she might just cause a furl.
Jace, help me.
Acceptance is required to escape the scree.
I’ve fallen for this girl,
But the need to be grounded lies at the heel.
Christian, help me.
You could always create a perfect concord.
I’ve fallen for this girl,
Her loveliness could turn almost anyone into a squirrel.
Guiliano, help me.
How does one become worthy of wonderful Capri?
I’ve fallen for this girl,
And holiness is the thing to win her laurel.
Cole, help me.
This passion didn’t have you pay a rupee.
I’ve fallen for this girl.
Just need a little zeal.
Tyler, help me.
Now there’s panicking.
I’ve fallen for this girl,
But your grit can help get through it all.
in streams of sunbeams inviting
my face to turn upwards
I am captured by intangible senses of
nutmeg and cinnamon communion-
candy-coated moments blossoming
As the wizard of memories wakes a dream
speechless and smiling
standing and body turning with movement
I am drawn onto the shag carpet
of blades sprouting green lightheartedness
tickling the soles of my feet
unabashedly bare
naked on an aimless path
shuffling gaited rhythms of a waltz step
striking with carefree muted thuds
on the squishy sod
jumping-running-skipping…
lifting ever higher-a freedom
that only children know
visitors from the ghosts of my youth
appear from the mettle of my core
singing, talking and laughing
each lyric echoing unrestrained
their haunting chimes pasted
in a basket of blue skies painted
with art of clouds
colored like vague stranded souvenirs-
a pictorial imbued across the horizon
a stage-play of our backyard friendships
step-by-step twirling-arms swinging-round
bare feet colliding with smiles
and I…..with great laughter...
I danced with them all!

There are different ways to interpret reality:
rose-coloured-glasses wins over the pessimist.
Why throw a dark shroud over day-to-day
there’s really nothing to gain ~
a smile always prevails over the frown.
Your outlook affects your mood
and your mood’s what measures your happiness.
Lightheartedness will always win in the end:
seeing the good side is an art,
it’s a skill that improves with practice.
It doesn’t take long to come naturally
once you start reaping the implicit benefits.
It’s a well kept secret
better than any magical spell ~
think good thoughts even if they’re fantasy.
Your heart is a garden requiring weeding ~
nurture the flowers and attract the sun.

Noetic integrity
of LeftHemisphere verbal dominance
represents polypathic resilience
With poetic empathy
of RightHemisphere nonverbal harmony
co-arising polyphonic resonance
Together contributing to our
ecologically enlightened,
politically empowered,
bilaterally co-engaged worldview
of EarthTribe fabled sentience
back toward pre-historic native
natural/spiritual co-arising experience
Just as an interpersonal connection
of deep noetic understanding
occurs when an individual feels
what an environment reveals,
When sacred organic individuals
know ourselves as more than merely secular
dissociated,
because sacredly incorporated
experiences of communion
more than merely competitive
win/lose managing to survive,
commodified by elite investors,
owned by zero-sum competitive struggle,
used by a runaway supremacist system,
rented for capital-driven purposes
consumed with getting corporate executives
ahead
By analogical comparison
poetic RightHemisphere prominence
of IndividualYang identity
within social Yintegrity
actively seeks
and thereby finds
deep democratic interspecies dialogical connections,
reverse bio-historical reconnections
And noetic polypathic understanding
that a humane person,
physically organic
with global multicultural health intention
to reactivate historical multi-regenerations
of deep sacred learning,
holistically win/win incorporated,
reconnected,
indigenously religioned,
feels what another neurosensory organic creation
re-creationally feels
both RightHemisphere resonant harmony
and LeftHemisphere resilient integrity,
both sacred
and secular,
both flowing cosmic interrelationship
and strong bilateral
ego/eco-systemic
inside/outside
noetic/poetic
polypathic/polyphonic
bicameral integrity.

The clouds were chased away
Leaving behind thirst quenching rain
Glittering pearls of moisture
With rainbows in every droplet
Warm sunrays breaking through
Ever so gentle and soothing
A veil of peaceful silence fallen
Breathing candied sighs of relief
A sweet taste of serenity
The frightful wind vanished
Welcoming calm after the storm
A still hush of lightheartedness
Extend a warm nurturing caress
Basking in a doting sun
Revitalized with a good stretch
And sun’s soft kiss on my cheek
