It was going to be the adventure of a lifetime,

my lifetime.

It was never about money, and yet,

Money is a necessity, or

The means to the necessities

Of life. After all,

What can you do without money,

In our society?

I wanted to write about Spirit.

I seemed to need to write about Spirit and

About his intensely wise philosophy of

Simple living, but

How simple is still satisfying is

Where we disagreed.

He could, it seemed,

More easily talk the talk than

I could or can walk his walk.

There has to be a middle way

I tell Him. Even Buddha

Was aware of that.
