Elder Respect.
Spencer Wilhelm said:
I live probably too much by the rule of seniority. I find it so sad to see children walk over their teachers in school. That is the hardest to watch. They have no respect for their elders and we can see how this is a part of why society is so shaken. There is a huge reason God gave us the 4th commandment as the first commandment after our duties to God. Honor thy father and mother.
We see no honor today, and that explains pretty much everything.

I\'ve always been odd then as I never really know what\'s in my funds until there\'s nearly none and time has always stood still. Seconds within seconds so much wasted that much is true!

“Never know the balance…” This points to a deep reality of life : we never know when the last day will come. We always think it is far, far away… So we should do what we have to do and leave a lasting imprint in our own lifetime. In poetry, we do so. I hope when I stop posting and responding someone will write my obituary here…

The Lost Idea.
arqios said:
A quiet, meta‑reflection on creativity’s elusive nature; the intended poem slipping away as another takes its place. In its simplicity, it captures that familiar mix of acceptance and lingering curiosity, leaving the “lost idea” suspended, perhaps forever, in possibility. Good one, Andy; I\'ve \"lost\" a few this way, this year...

That poem is now conversing with a dozen others of mine that met the same fate. A poem that I can identify with.

Would that be the poem you were going to write tomorrow, as in the thing I never get right: \'Yesterday was the day you worried about tomorrow\', is it?! lol.
