Circular Logic

I will now face the truth.

I was not made to amass wealth.

But am I to be a vagabond

for the rest of my life?

Is it so important

to do not what makes you happy

but what makes a living?

A house

a dog

a wife

and kids

401K

Roth IRA

your health insurance

you will pay.

If I am to risk

and face what's worth risking

is the answer my happiness?

Could I be

just another spoiled person

wanting to feel

valuable and important?

Am I finally reaching

the time in my life

when inaction

is slowing killing me.

I can only hope.

And hope I hear is more deadly.

Singing of Swans in everyday Speak

Sometimes the language of our everyday conversations can be so singsong.
Take for instance:
She was a swan...
just not yours.
She was not a swan...
she was a duck.
We thought she was a swan...
but now we know she's not.
Don't you know...
that you need to find a swan?
Your swan.
It's not fair to anyone else.
