"At times I almost dream...
I, too, have spent a life the sage's way
and tread once more familiar paths

Perchance I perished
in an arrogant self-reliance an age ago
and in that act a prayer for one more chance
went up, so earnest, so...

Instinct, with better light let in by death
that life was blotted out not so completely
but scattered wrecks
enough of it to remain dim memories

As now...one sees, once more
the goal in sight again."

Yes, my darlings...this means I am back.  Having done my penance and been enlightened, I have returned as my original self to entertain those of you who have so kindly encouraged my return.  To those people (and one wise person in particular)...thank you, I heard you, and I am back 100% because of y'all.

For those who do not welcome me or the return of my "ultra PC posts"...as Mohandas Gandhi once said, "You'll find there is room for all of us".

Peace out.
