Look, Listen and Learn

Some people learn when they are told,

others see how when they are shown.

Still others try on their own. Sometimes

they fail; sometimes they succeed. Look,

listen and learn.

Now as an experiment, take yourself

out of the picture, become totally dis-

engaged, physically and emotionally

separated from a certain scene or

activity.

Nothing ventured; nothing gained.

You know what I mean, like in a far

fetched sci-fi movie or say a man on

the moon landing, could be a volcanic

eruption on an island off Indonesia or

perhaps the running of the bulls in

Pamplona.

There are somethings you will never

experience personally in reality. I for

one will never scale the icy slopes of

Mt. Everest. I’m scared of heights,

you see.

And why anyone else would beats the

living hell out of me. Too, I’ll only travel

on the Interstates when I need to get

where I want or need to be.

Live and let live...that’s my philosophy.

I was raised in the Midwest, what did

you expect?
