To My Neighbors


Open Letter to my world Earthling Neighbors
(This is a copy of the letter that went along with the pictures from our Neighborhood get-together Saturday, September 6, 2014; and now also goes to all who attend/will-attend in spirit) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~As a second grader, I had the perfect quip to stave off the embarrassment of my older brothers when needed. It was "You can pick your nose, you can pick your toes, but you can/t pick your family". Nothing is that simple anymore, especially as I advance on the "Temporal Rewards Program"
Were there such a thing, the "picking" of Neighbors is an important variable in life. So hopefully in a wonderfully livable balance between blood feud, vendetta, faida, clan war and shangrila, utopia, heaven, promised land, I will find myself living on this good earth. Before I write a tome, let me stop, put the rest of my thoughts/feelings into a poem, pack up some photos, and give one and all a deep heartfelt thank you for being such wonderful neighbors ......................
Between forgiveness and tolerance housed
riotous laughter compassion aroused
respected neglected unexpected rejected
at times confusing, but always protected
Enjoying annoying working on a diet
soliciting eliciting loud quiet
waving calling each other's names
street baseball basketball games
walking around, lending a hand
listening, just trying to understand
sharing snow-shovel labor
giving best shot - love thy neighbor
Home Inner Sanctum home
introverts extroverts plastic chrome
beat bleak retreat difficult hard
respite from world's tempest guard
Privacy harbor safety seclusion
publicity hoopla unbounded illusion
camp religion creed sect sister brother
thriving dwells .......... honor each other.
A wonderful world........un monde merveilleux........एक अद्भुत दुनिया..........un mundo maravilloso..........עולם מופלא.....Harika bir dünya......一个美好的世界 .............Как прекрасен этот мир............له من عالم رائع.. Peace and Health...... Paix et santé......शांति और स्वास्थ्य ............Paz y salud ..........שלום ובריאות......和平与健康......... Мир и здоровье ..........السلام والصحة "^ -" ^ CZat
