loyalty

Love your name is loyalty.

Loyalty sits on the edge of the bed when no one else comes to call.

Traitors stab you in the back, but the loyal smack you on the lips.

Loyalty is the champion who asks for no medals.

A true friend offers you loyalty when you can’t find it in yourself.

Loyalty loses no good it might win by fearing to attempt.

Loyalty kisses fragility on both cheeks.

Loyalty is always gushing behind her lover’s back.

Loyalty can hold hands for sixty years withour tiring.

Love is always loyal and whatever is not loyal is not love.

True lovers are forever smitten by the drop-dead gorgeous eyes of loyalty.

Loyalty is the soul of kin.

Loyalty hath no mean and hungry look.

These aphoristic thoughts on loyalty were inspired by the most loyal person I know, my sweet wife Linda.

cars

Whenever I go out for a drive, I know that someone, somewhere in a little room, sends out a mass of selfishly mindless and maddeningly slow motorists to navigate themselves into my way.

A navigation system is a back-seat driver minus the attitude.

A civilized man abandons his coach and finds again the use of his feet.

If it has an overage of sheet metal, extensive plastic bling and massive stretches of chrome, then it’s American.

The invention of the wheel was progress until the invention of gasoline.

The modern car has become an mobile cafe, office and living room.

A world of gas-powered cars may end the world.

Sheet metal is chiton for humans.

You are what you won’t drive.

In California, cars are clothes.

At some point we all want transportation that gets us there before we leave.

Slow bodies want fast cars.

A flashing, blurring, narrowing field of view —  speed thrills just before it kills.

Touring is a tight suspension, a turbo charger and a turning road.

Alcohol, oil and gas don’t mix.

politics

What you must do to win an election generally disqualifies you from being elected.

A  presidential candidate may have no secrets, a President, many.

Politics  is apparently sport; it seems to be an opportunity to score.

Law is order — until people get involved.

Politics plus anything equals politics.

Re-election was invented so that something might finally get done.

When a political campaign reduces a candidate to smiles, handshakes, slogans and promises then unfortunately, that is what they are.

Politically, brutality is not a liability.

Man is a vicious elected animal.

All political life owes its existence to physical death.

Heredity and wealth are forever the political enemy of competence and good will.

Politics is a public brawl in suits and ties.

Politics sides.

acceptance

Gentleness with others thrives in the very places that we shelter our own weaknesses.

Acceptance slides the handcuffed a key.

When I accept you,  I love myself and you.

Acceptance shines in the eyes but radiates from the heart.

To you, I am what you allow me to be.

What I do not accept I murder and leave lying in a pool of judgment.

Acceptance debrides the wounded past.

The house of acceptance becomes the home of the condemned.

The blamed have an opportunity to stop blaming.

I am not safe with you if you do not love yourself.

The judged learn not to judge.

Your safety with me lies in my love of myself.

The condemned have a unique opportunity to make a sharp turn toward perfection.
