October 26, 2019-
I got where I am now,
not through glad-handing
and sweet talk..
There have been
times that I needed
to learn from setbacks,
and course corrections.
The Universe made sure that
those things happened.
The lessons were learned.
There were times when
I could have fudged
the truth, but didn’t,
and took the heat
for it.
There were times
that I left things
unsaid,
and just made
matters worse.
So often,
the road to solace.
is manned by
the vicious.
So often, one
must get past
those of unsound mind,
who see things
that are white
and pronounce them
black.
The surest way past them
is to stay one’s course,
and not bend,
in the face of illogic,
no matter how loudly
or brashly
it is expressed.
The surest weapon
remains the missile of truth.
(These thoughts came to me, upon watching a program about a man who reminds me of myself.)
powerful message, Gary.
I have nominated you for The Barnabas Award.
