I'd like to meet:

I am considering this to be my own little corner of the universe where I may make some new friends and become reaquainted with some old ones. If any of my former students happen to venture into "my space," I would love to hear from you!!!! I taught speech and drama and coached debate at a small high school near the Virginia border...Elkhorn City High School.

"You build your personal world
Calm or wild
According to what you wish,
You can weave peace in the midst of chaos,
You can destroy in the midst of paradise
It all depends on how you shape your spirit." ~Richard Bach~

"Whatever you decide to live,
You'll live not once
But a thousand times over,
Remembering for the rest of your life." ~Richard Bach~

"Nothing is more precious than the rare, exquisite and utterly unrepeated essence that is you. When you offer yourself to another human being---by revealing yourself, by disclosing your fears and dreams, the losses that shaped and transformed you---you give the greatest gift that you can, the gift of your unique essence. Far from being selfish, true disclosure is a miracle of intimacy, for in revealing your tender, intricate inner self, you invite the person to whom you are speaking not only to see who you are, but also to see himself." Author Unknown

Music:

MUSIC
Reggae, Blues, Country, Rock, Jazz Classical..especially "Romantic Pieces" OP 75 by Dvorak.

I wrote the following lyrics for a dear friend in the '80's. Hopefully, someone out there will enjoy the words...especially those people with "strings" attached!

You'll Never See a Guitar Man Cry
"At times we give ourselves away
Sometimes we love too much
It's hard to make it through the day
Without a little hurt
Some shrug it off with just a sigh
Others find another way to cry
Chorus

But a guitar man never cries
'Bout his lonliness and fear
He just picks up his old friend
And strums an unseen tear
For every time he's had to say 'goodbye'
You'll never see a guitar man cry
Lead Break
If you want to know his fears
Then listen to the tears
Echo through his lonely heart
By way of his guitar
Easing the pain 'till he dies
No, you'll never see a guitar man cry."
Repeat Chorus
A guitar man never cries 'Bout his lonliness and fears He just picks up his ole friend And strums an unseen tear For every time he's had to say 'goodbye' You'll never see a guitar man cry."
