A year or so ago I wrote a piece about
some of those by whom I was inspired
in my life. I never thought or said that
I wished to be just like them.
The folks I mentioned (and so many
others I have known who shall remain
nameless) taught me to be myself and
strive to become the best I could be.
I have also made many a mistake along
the way, some of those due to selfish
desires; some were manifest by pre-
disposed genetic conditioning which
needed to be recognized and addressed
physiologically and psychologically.
Like every other human being, I am
naturally gifted and also infused
with my own individual idiosyncrasies.
Life can sometimes be a complex
and discordant cacophony. There
are choices to be made. I’ve learned
to be respectful of others who are
likewise doing the same along the
way.
I can honestly say, in the end I got
that which I so richly deserved.
Rhetorically speaking, isn’t that
the way it was meant to be.
Next time, I may try the ribeye
(medium rare, please), but for
now, the meatloaf will do.
