The Siamese Keys led to nowhere, had no usefulness and were insignificant in every way. Yet, the faith that they could somehow be useful was never discarded. In moving forward, one must look back to insure the sanity and sanctity of what was once a reality. What?

Like 3 points of a compass managing the pathways we could traverse, our minds question now the correct direction. Is it only the compass that directs us or the heart that beats inside the compass? Questions, questions…

Do Others know us better than ourselves? Maybe. Maybe not. The depth of who and what we are is only known by our own hearts, not by the exterior that others see and perceive. Trusting in thyself, while working with one’s inner confidence still trumps all of the perceptions, rhetoric and second guessing by outsiders.
After thinking this piece was completed, then viewing it as the camera saw it, allowed David to go back and really finish the composition. He believes he now has said what was “in his heart.” Take a close view and spy the real difference and simple improvement. Life is real & simple, when one trusts “the eyes and heart to inform.”

Variations on a theme. Henry Mancini was one of David’s favorite composers and musicians. He wrote some very cool music for both TV and Motion Pictures. This tribute plays with some variations on a theme, “The Floater!”

The roaring, monsoonal love torrent rushed towards the every growing stream of contentment and created the perfect union. How often does that happen outside of pulp fiction, paperback novels?

In our lives, that which we seek is often very close, so very, very close. The seeker seeks, the wants are close, close as our perceptions of same, right under our _____ (you fill in the blank). Look, observe and see if that which you seek is not as close as your outgoing breath. Sigh…

At day’s end, when we say our final words and sighs,it is still the affairs of the heart that guide, provoke and send us to a very special soul place, mentally & spiritually.

Life opens and closes. Our daily assignment is to stay “open” and not “close.” While this can be difficult work, the rewards far out number the alternative. Stay alert, alive and “open” to infinite possibilities!
