I am a 39 year old man living in a 82 year old body. This is the best time of my life. I have a wonderful wife who is my best friend. She is a great encouragement to me, together we plan to squeeze all we can out of life.
Photography is one of my passions and digital has made it more interesting to me. I have several cameras. My goal is to take one great photo before I leave this world. I am looking for it everyday.
My philosophy is best summed up in this poem I wrote:
MOMENTS
Occupy your moments...
There is no life in dreams,
There is no touch in the future.
No laughter in tomorrow
No smell in what may be
Life is the moment!!!
The Now!!
The past is only a memory.
Good or bad, it does not live;
The future only a hope not yet realized.
Occupy your moments...
Savor the present,
Touch what you can while you are here.
Hear the song of today,
Smell the flower before you go.
Occupy your moments...
You will not be coming back.
Life is a one way journey lived one moment at a time.
Fill the moment with your presence,
See all there is to see,
Hold on to what is worthy,
Grasp the noble,
Take from the moment what is eternal...
Love.
