You Alone

You Alone You wish to move that block of stone, to make an opening, to pave a way. You steadily push it before you. Sometimes you tire. But somehow, within, you find the strength to push. Your walk is like beach sand.

Caged

Caged Freedom to dwell wherever I tread Not confined to locations with boundaries Zoning, districts, busing Unleash me so I can roam free To see mountains and rivers and trees of all sorts To open up and breathe in fresh air Somewhere where the sky is not blocked but in plain view Uncage me so I can go FREE.

How Do You Really Feel?

How Do You Really Feel? Good morning. How are you? I’m fine. How are you? Are you always fine when you say those words? Or are you being repetitious in your everyday greetings.

The Heart That Keeps On Beating

THE HEART THAT KEEPS ON BEATING It has the most important job. Wounded yet it never skips a beat. There is no gluing or stitching involved, it just continues to work, as if oblivious to attacks. It’s a wonder and many are in awe of it. It’s the pumper of life. Sometimes it’s carelessly handled and is crushed easily. Many are not conscious of its fragileness. It is the holder of emotions and takes a direct hit when trampled upon. Shattered, broken and cracked in many places, however never gi… Continue

Happy And Insured, Man Has Doubts On Overhaul

Dave Koenig has health insurance through work, and is happy with the plan. But as the health care debate drags on, he says he's losing faith in the overhaul plan. Koenig, who calls himself a conservative, says that at first he was open to President Obama's call to regulate the insurance industry to protect patients.

And he's hoping his health insurance won't change when all is said and done.
