from where I am sitting now.
A place of peace and harmony,
somewhere where the sun always shines
and a cooling breeze blows
just to ruffle the hair.
Where work
is just a dream from the past.
A place where you can do things
you really want to do,
instead of being under the thumb
of the root of all evil, money that is.
Sadly, that is a wish,
which will never come true.

Inspired by my friend Terry Turner.
by what we’ve done in the past.We write our destinyby the conduct of our youth.They say a leopardnever changes his spotsand we are much the same.Our behaviour is controlledby what we’ve done before.We can try to changebut it’s harder than you think.We’ve already shaped ourselveswith the good and the bad.22 March 2011
