We need to be a little bit of …
a clown – to laugh at daily misfortunes,
a slave – to attend to tasks of drudgery,
an artist – to find inspiration in beauty,
a wit – to laugh at one’s enormous ego,
a thief – to steal moments of bliss in our
everyday struggles,
a philosopher – to find meaning in living,
a friend – when all else fails a shoulder to weep
on,
… all this and more
to rise above the misery of our humdrum
existence.

Who said `dreams are for the young
and memories for the old,’
was a pretentious fool!

By all means be a dreamer
but more importantly be a doer,
in order to survive
the ratrace in this
good,
bad,
difficult world we live in!
