Strangely and despite common belief.....

I believe in serendipity's place in every man's life.
But witness the translucence of truths espoused by many of my bellicose, fellow man.
See the random inconsistencies that arise, almost subconsciously, in the discourse of everyday animated conversational exchanges.
Doubt the sincerity of the man who is a known, recidivist borrower and poor re-payer of loans.
Take enormous pleasure in blue sky, heroic trees and white billowing clouds.
Encompass warmth and affection for he or she who reciprocate something of value.
Look for the best in the person before me
Hate and loath those who spread malevolence and warfare on the planet.
But am reduced to tears by an unanticipated kindness or sensitivity.
Appreciate and embrace the bonds of family and really close friends....

And commit my life and everlasting love to the wonderful woman, Janet, who shares the good times and the bad in this life, irrespective, I might add, of my failings and many, many shortcomings.
