not simply old timey poetics, this man was a true, self-realized freedom fighter. More heros: My teacher and mentor, John Hawk... across the boarde a man that never ceases to amaze and inspire. And lastly, my Mom and Dad. (now, try not to throw up) You could go to all four corners of the globe and not find more loving, strong, intelligent, plain good- people, sorta' people as my folks. They are generous, kind, creative and adaptable in life. I have watched them work through hard times and embrace the good. They never forced monotheistic views on me which I'm very, very appreciative of. They showed me through their actions that honesty, generosity, and hard work is it's own reward.... as clichÈ' and out of fashion as this notion may seem these days. They always remind me that an active mind and a zealous for life is the key to the fountain of youth. I believe them. I am very lucky... I remind myself of all this when I'm feeling blue.
