THE PROPOSAL

By the time we are in the mood, success has moved along or perhaps changed its mind about us. Hence, the time we spend courting and craving its attention, only to become suspicious of its intentions.

LIFE

Life proceeds without complaint because it is without compare.

PLEA BARGAINING

The pining to pursue our dreams is so common that it corrupts. Most people render this with the rabid, "If I win the lottery..." How can the heart handle such folly! I understand the relief the idea gives, but I reject the statement that it makes about ourselves. Why must we win the lottery to pursue our destiny? What fears must we defeat? Or are we merely waiting for fortune to favor?
