Golly gee. I’m blushing. Not really a treasure, Rollie. More like a rusty old coin that’s been around. You are too kind, thank you. I’m just an old phart looking at life. That gives me the benefit to look back and to look ahead through the billowing clouds of certainty and uncertainty. There’s something to be said about that adage, “one doesn’t know where you’re going if you don’t know where you’ve been”. I believe a lot of the answers are out there, but . . .
I’m just another one of those dinosaurs with another climate change, I suppose.

Some might think I’m down on this or that technology or disdain creative progress or don’t have a hankering for it. They would be mistaken. In fact when I was a technical director with new gadgets often within my reach before public announcement, as you know, I made a living with much technology and creativity developed and used today. It was common to toss technology when it wasn’t great or another was more suitable or simply because it was unnecessary. The creativity wasn’t only in the ‘now’. It looked ahead to where it was going and the best way to make it happen throughout. Sometimes mistakes could be corrected; but, often you had one kick at the can, and it better be a kick through the goal posts. The KISS principle can be very effective too.

Those robot cameras you’ll see on news sets along with automated mics have a story to tell. I think more people should read it.

I shouldn’t have read all those Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, and Isaac Asimov writings. Blame them for the vision. :lol:
You have my vote for Nobel poetry recognition my friend.

an edit of this oldie
Solid Body Love Songs wrote:
awoke this morning counting
blessings that have been mounting
in my heart though not in order
so, organize thought, I oughta
then, the sound of other peoples voices
not counting blessings counting other choices
things they wouldn't or that didn't or couldn't or that isn't
not blessings or thoughts that they did want to have
better thoughts to think about and to count as theirs
a hug or kiss an expression of love
the world's sun and moon, shine from above
turning around not turning down
helps you keep steady on the shaky ground
of life's changing reality
lets you change the sound, vibrations if you will
in syncopation going round
the critics voices seemed to mount
self importance, critical mass now on their count
I know better's and me not you's to start the complaint departments views
then I stopped to think about my count
the blessings in a messy mount
I had forgot to put in order,
so, get back to organizing those blessings I oughta

Dang! I was thinking of writing that. Naw. Just kidding, Rollie. Even we’re I to try, what was I thinking? I could not. But, I can and did read your eloquent meaningful poetry and how great is that? I’ll tell you. Über great! :mrgreen:

another old post I found

Archetype

idea, ideals, identify

words of wisdom,
words of time
words that enlighten,
words of mind
words from lovely friends of mine
(for you Bros, FSB and Marky and all of the poets on this thread)

Nice! I really like those soulful words. I like your post too, Rollie.

Thank you, my friend.

Words from a memory
Words from back then. :wink:

Really nice, Rollie. Thank you, brother.

Words of peace
Words of love
Words of joy from above.

These words come from within.
All we need do is listen in.
