After a while…

After a while you learn
the subtle difference between
holding a hand and chaining a soul
and you learn
that love doesn’t mean leaning
and company doesn’t always mean security.
And you begin to learn
that kisses aren’t contracts
and presents aren’t promises
and you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes ahead
with the grace of woman, not the grief of a child
and you learn
to build all your roads on today
because tomorrow’s ground is
too uncertain for plans
and futures have a way of falling down
in mid-flight.
After a while you learn
that even sunshine burns
if you get too much
so you plant your own garden
and decorate your own soul
instead of waiting for someone
to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure
you really are strong
you really do have worth
and you learn
and you learn…

Shame on anyone who takes a Ferrari out for a spin without respecting the toy! At the bottom of this article is a link to additional pictures of exotic cars that have been wasted before their true value was realized. Thanks to Tony for the inspiration on this one .

I myself have personally witnessed a Yellow Ferrari similarly mistreated. The poor sap of a driver had sprung out of the lights with too much gas, coming round the corner got a bit taily and mounted the curb, torpedoed up on top of a Corolla and Volvo in the adjacent supermarket carpark. Man was that lady customer pissed! And natch, the driver was not the owner. Seems that rear wheel drive takes a bit of getting used to…

Try this!

1. Lift your right foot, just off the ground.
2. Start making clockwise circles with it.
3. With your right hand, draw a six in the air.
4. What is your foot doing now?

Its possible to keep your foot going in the right direction, but not always easy!
