It certainly isn't because I say I am Great. That is so much rubbish as to almost be boring. It is mostly a joke that is on me. However I have taken one from the Madonna play book of success..if you say it long enough and loud enough sooner or later everyone will believe it.

But what really makes me unique is the unbending, relentless determination to get to the bottom of things to see how they work. One piece at a time, It isn't in the the saying of it, but in the doing of it. Someone once told me I am a conflict resolution artist.

Sometimes finding the solution to a problem is like threading the eye of a needle. A very small hole to go through, and sometimes it is for the grace of God that I find the passage to the other side that sets you free. To see what really is the truth of the matter.

That determination to get to the bottom of things has allowed me to achieve the goal of my life and that is peace of mind or to be one with yourself. I have always gone by the parable, What does it gain a man to gain the world only to lose his soul. We are here in this world for such a short period of time as to make fame and fortune a fleeting bit of gossamer, an illusion. So what becomes important in ones life is the capacity to love, and no one can take that away from you. That and as my Grandfather used to say the knowledge you acquire along the way.

Now the goal for me is to apply that pile of sticks I have assembled to the world. To leave a little something of myself behind. That has been my intention in writing what I have written in this place. For if I can fire a synapse or two in my readers head I will have moved the world long after my name has been forgotten and I have turned to dust.
