I have been called wise. This is true if wisdom is defined as the state that one achieves as a result of surviving the multitude of mistakes and wrong turns one takes. It is also true if one lives to be older than dirt.
I walked Haight Ashbury before the flower children showed up and worked in the fields of grapes that Caesar Chavez' UFW struck. I lived American Grafitti in a small California rural town.
I know what it is like to be poor and am not afraid of it. I know what it is like not to be poor...and am not afraid of that either.
I am the beginning of the Baby Boom born of parents who not only gave a damn but also were ahead of not only their time but this time, as well.
I am now at the age where those important to me are starting to die. At this writing, I am dealing with the unexpected death of a vibrant young son, the end of a two-decade marriage, and the sudden death of a dear friend. It is a time in life when rather than talking about bruises and scrapes, you talk about cancer and dementia.
I am in the third act of a three-act play...and, folks, it's going to be one hell of a third act with the curtain call yet to come.
I believe that in the winds of change, you must keep the fire within.
