A FEW BASICS
1; Question everything or live the life of The Lemming. Mother
2: Look it up in World Book. Father
3: Do what you’re supposed to do when you’re supposed to do it (and don’t do what you’re not supposed to). Jim.
4: Trust God and do the Next Thing. Meister Eckhart.
5: Spiritual, emotional and physical wellness are the rewards of reason tempered with faith. Approval? Not so much.. Lee.
6: Nobody warned me. The Lemming.
Lee Broom. Leadership. A Love Story.
Onlyness is the focus of the first in line.
Loneliness is the focus of those who follow.
Figure out who is who and sell ‘em what they want.
It began with a glimmer, a sliver of light.
In a matter of minutes the glow was right.
And the Meadowlark sang its song.
Another Lark………… another, again.
A feathery chorus was now on hand
As The Boy mimicked their song .
More Meadowlarks sang along.
And The Boy became a man.
The Year was not New. It was warm,
There was dew as the day took form
Like a voice from Heaven
The boy of eleven,
Joined the choir of Meadowlark Hill.
This morning was more than a day in the life,
This newborn man
Met the day now rife
With the pleasance of Trill
On The Hill of The Larks.
On The Hill of The Man.
A humble young Man
Said Thank You.
Thank You he said again.
Again and again and again.

Does it matter, the ideas we study?
Does it matter, if we begin with an opinion?
If we endeavor to understand any idea or set of ideas
with the assumption that this set of ideas is Truth and
the purpose of studying those ideas is to find a way to
achieve cognitive consonance between the beliefs of the
original thinker and the students, can learning actually occur?
Befuddling?
Perhaps.
To study requires a promise
To cherish objectivity.
To learn requires a premise
That is the priority.
But….
Perhaps there is no truth?
Are we using the right tools?
Oh, for an opinion.
So many rules.
Are we fools?
Perhaps.

The journey to superiority reveals no truth.
The search for proof serves only the seeker.
Those who encourage others to learn have taken steps toward peace, knowledge and self-respect.
Those who seek power over others enslave themselves.
In order to experience love one must love one’s self.
In order to love one’s self one must know self-respect.
In order to respect one’s self one must be willing to serve others with no expectation of reward.
