Life Preserved in Word

Her job skills are prototypical but one is exemplary as she totally rocks the charts when it comes to TLC. She’s a nurse and she’s OK, been at it for 40 years and still gets paid in long hours of brutal shift work and patience testing patients testing the patience of caregivers, visitors and other patients. When humor becomes a waif and her world gradually fades she turns to meditation and prayer - “Is anybody there?” Deep within the cerebral abyss a sense of Deja Vu persists as she finds and enters the vault of recompense to discover it’s  hidden riches though nary a whiff of tangible value resides inside the core of her gray matter of fact. Instead she finds a piece of mind nursing those cherished memories that foster peace of mind as her world gradually brightens so that once again she has the vision to see what allows her to be - a good nurse: Thankyous, smiles and laughter from infants to the elderly ...

Sage advice reaps exponentially. We are the architects of our own prisons. Most of us struggle to live in peace but may possibly attain peace at  the time of eternal rest. Perhaps we are reluctant to peace it together. Depression is the arsonist of hope and assassin of dreams. Strength is born of necessity through sadness. A test of mettle merits metal medal. Go with your gut… or vomit. Reverence or irreverence may be a dilemma for me but reverence I must test for irreverence to be. The sighted are blind to the insight of the blind.   Peril awaits those who procrastinate. Vessels to saline drips saline to vessels. Should I ever be stricken by cancer I hope to have the courage to turn the other cheek and embrace it. Meaningful relationships, friendships and reputations may take a lifetime to nurture and sustain but can be snuffed out in an instant and take ages to rekindle and reclaim. I have a healthy amount of disrespect f...

Eat quick like a bunny to fill the hopper! To get to the root of a problem simply extract the tooth. Wise as an owl or wise ass owl? The choice is yours and I don't give a hoot! Some people say I’m shellfish but I’m not the only crab. I’m not about knowing everything about anything nor anything about everything. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I know almost nothing about anything and anything about nothing. One may wrongly infer that I have political aspirations... Birthdays are a time for us to reflect but probably not in the mirror while clad in our birthday suits! Happy Birthday! Buck doe for fawn.   or Hart and hind have fawn. What do a hunter, a pub patron and a panda have in common? They all eat shoot and leave. A pub patron shoots, eats and leaves (darts and dining). A hunter shoots, leaves and eats. A panda eats shoots and leaves. Sorry, my grammar’s appalling ‘cause she’s past tense just like gramps. In any contest all entrants ...

Afoul flew the owl to become an owly old fowl. If the 'roo shits, wear it! Spintrovert: one who revolves around the vast middle ground between introverts and extroverts. My therapist suggested that self-empowerment is the best way to deal with unresolved issues.   I now share with someone else. The majority of well-grounded people are shorter than five feet tall.   They are closer to the ground and less likely to walk around with their head in the clouds. Raging hormones of the teenage sage. With nary a twitch I engaged the switch, my computer awoke and so did the blitch. I find it rather perplexing that a dense thick headed person can also be accused of being a feather brain. EGOlution:   A child collides into a raging teen who explodes into a full blown adult that tempers slowly to become a child again. As a matter of tact it’s a diplomat. To visualize I need two organ eyes first.   I intend to merely be myself today. W...

Today marks the date of your birth in this life to remember each year the happiness, the strife. It’s old but it’s new, assimilated only by you though shared with and by others – the many, the few. May the only thing divided be the cake by the knife. May you foster lasting memories everywhere in your life. © David Girard 05/05/19
