actually that term would be a step up for me, after spending 50 years in a fog

Rip Van woke me up and said, ” get up man we need the space”

so it was suggested that i throw my lot in with a similar group, asleep at the wheel for most of their lives and now trying to pull it together and make something of whatever time is left

a motley crew to say the least, some are serious and some are still pretending, i hang with the aforementioned and we muddle on together

i am convinced that i will never master life on this plane, but i have found a joy and contentment i have never known, because i am conscious, aware and sincerely appreciate the progress in others as well as their assessment of me

still don’t care what many people think, but these and their opinions matter to me because they come in hope, love and strength

that i can accept and nurture
