Image result for bee on flower

A tightrope walker never looks down.
A train can't go anywhere without track.
A flag isn't unfurled if there is no breeze.
But a bee always finds a flower.
'Tis the only way for there to be honey.
Can't be bought with all the world's money.
I miss my old life and the ones I love.
I've got my music and my God.
Day is always interrupted by night.
Which is why we sometimes don't have what is ...
... right ...

Author's Note

Pete
“As for doing good, that is one of the professions which are full. Moreover, I have tried it fairly, and, strange as it may seem, am satisfied that it does not agree with my constitution. Probably I should not consciously and deliberately forsake my particular calling to do the good which society demands of me, to save the universe from annihilation; and I believe that a like but infinitely greater steadfastness elsewhere is all that now preserves it.” - Thoreau
