If Only
January 9, 2017
The problem is our modern culture
If only I hadn’t been so poor
If only I lived in a better place
If only I didn’t have such a temper
If only I weren’t so hopeless
If only society weren’t so demanding
If only so many bright, talented people didn’t suffer
The truth is balance
The truth is peace of mind
The truth is creative discovery
The truth is growth
The truth is survival
The truth is sustaining the engine of life
