Of a Sound Mind

I am so full of sound, saturated with it so to speak, that I wouldn’t have believed it possible if I hadn’t actually been […]

Let’s get our act together Break free from every tether Be our own chief          Life is so brief Let’s take a bow For here and now And make the most Of every toast Ignore some rules Behave like fools Smile like a loon Under the moon Dare take a chance Create our “dance” Climb up […]
