integrity

Integrity knocks; few answer.

Integrity lies in doing the right thing when no one is watching.

Probity stars globally.

Fudgity is smudgity; integrity brings clarity.

Integrity can’t get caught.

Integrity has celebrity.

Compassion begins with a rubble and ends in a soup bowl.

Dishonesty looks over its shoulder; integrity looks down its nose.

Integrity’s losses belong to the bosses.

If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing.

As the sea wall restrains the raging storm, so integrity holds off dishonesty.

Integrity finds its calm in the eye of the storm.

aliens

Tags: , , , ,

ET is me and thee and we.

The quirky, murky human mind is a close encounter of the weirdest
kind.

The strangest alien is clearly mammalian.

We believe aliens are dangerous because we are.

De-alien the ruined rapscallion with love.

Emotions are the aliens who wish to be our friends.

The universe houses no space aliens, only cosmic citizens.

Policy hates an alien.

Extremism creates a war of the worlds.

Illegal will never be alien.

Wearing vermilion doesn’t make you an alien.

We want to discover life on another planet; we’ve yet to discover it here.

loss

Tags: , , , , , ,

Love labors over loss.

Grieve your losses with eye glosses.

Lost love lingers long.

Losses’ gains wise up our brains.

Loss denied implodes inside.

Loves labors are never lost.

Women with glosses cover their losses.

The loss of interest in selfishness is gain.

To lose a child is to lose a universe.

The difference between loss and gain is one nanosecond of terrain.

core

Tags: , , , , ,

Humanity has no core, just appendages galore.

Core values are overrated; it’s core actions that really matter.

As the volcano one day gushes its hot lava so the wounded soul one day exudes its core emotion.

Forget the common cold; cure the common core.

Eat the whole apple; core your anger.

War’s the gore that tore our core.

A core sample per day keeps the psychiatrist away.

At the center of every human conflict lies humanity’s core reactor leaking.

The body wastes away, but the core within the core of the quintessential core of the soul is never lost.

Story is our very first glory; the psyche’s core is made of lore.

friends

Posted: November 12, 2013 in friends
Tags: , , , , ,

Be a chum; keep mum.

Disaster opens the door; good friends walk in.

A friend with proceeds is a friend indeed.

Compassion confers companions.

Keep your friends close, your family closer and your smart phone closest.

Show me your friends; I’ll show you some enemies.

Two are better than one, unless betrayal ends the fun.

As iron sharpens iron, so one tongue sharpens another.

A man without a single friend will set upon all other men.

Be a net; catch friends.

A friend attends the bitter end.

small

Tags: , , , , , ,

Small and inane will make you sane.

Small holds the rank of swank.

Small in all; bit in every it.

To hold a child is to hold the universe.

Gratitude arrives in bits, ingratitude in blitz and fits.

The pun is mightier than the board.

Small anxieties repeat the first miracle; they makes a universe out of nothing.

Consider everything as if it counts — it does.

The micro-flotsam are forget-some.

Don’t worry about comets, the real danger lies in commas.

The mightiest moment is this quick and quarky nanosecond’s “is.”

details

Posted: November 7, 2013 in details
Tags: , , , ,

Give me details or give me death.

All hail the power of the small detail.

Nothing says something like one thing.

Every rain drop sings the doo wop.

Gratitude lies in minutiae.

The pudding’s proof is tongue and tooth.

Beauty lies to the beholder.

God is in the details; the devil lies in generalities.

Up and down and lark and bark, celebrate the antiquark.

Idealists love generalities; realists love details.

Even the most massive mountain ranges deteriorate into the smallest pieces.

normal

Posted: November 2, 2013 in normal
Tags: , , , , , ,

Normal is caught; healthy is taught.

Normal is a speeding target swerving.

We rediscover normal every time someone makes a weird choice.

Normal is what is familiar no matter how much it is twisted.

Both good and evil fly above the flatland of normal.

Disability is just a different kind of normal.

Normal is a soapy tub the addicted ache to soak in.

There is a boxer’s no in every normal’s yes.

Normal carries its own sadness deep within.

Normal keeps one lazy eye on extraordinary.

The norm deforms what’s born forlorn.

rest

Tags: , , , , , ,

Work beware of too much rest, rest of too much work.

Lack of zest must bear the jest.

Boil, roil, toil and moil; wash the sky and rest the soil.

The soul’s steepest declivity is found in lack of industry.

Epiphany’s an industry.

All rest no work is cirque du shirk.

Quest then rest at God’s bequest

Post-work charmed chance sets out to dance.

There is no good work without good rest.

The hardworking mind rejoices in mindlessness.

think

Posted: October 24, 2013 in think
Tags: , , , , , ,

Plan with your hands; think with your feet.

To muse, recuse and then defuse.

Imply, infer then just go there.

Think to the brink — then jump.

All in; mind off.

Deep deliberates at every depth.

Diet, quiet; stew, renew.

Fools follow formulas, the wise wonk.

Ideate then roller skate.

Think, thank, thunk; avoid a funk.

Mull it all terrestrial ball, the ancient fall, the modern pall.

What you confuse, fix when you muse.

Thinking is gray scaling.

It’s your choice: you can join a political party, or you can keep thinking.

invitation

Tags: , , , ,

Clothing is the envelope, skin the invitation.

Every invitation is packed in assumption and sealed with hope.

To be invited to help is to be cloaked with power.

Always invite your spouse to fight or suffer the rot of relational blight.

Take a nasty social swipe; craft a tardy disinvite.

To welcome war is to invite a serial killer to the diner table to eat with the family.

Healthy souls compose their own invitations.

Love brings home every quark, snark and scruffy bark.

Every invitation is a compliment.

The one making the most invitations wins.

observation

Tags: , , , , ,

Looking at one thing we miss another.

Those with their eyes only on God in heaven will broadside their neighbors on earth.

Observation invented the observatory.

Seeing is being; eyes not required.

Test every trust; trust not every test.

Theories mind rodents.

Theory brings up what observation shuts up.

Theology is subject to reality.

Reliability drinks at the trough of reproducibility.

The premise is in the pattern.

The mind arrests the eye and carries it off to prison.

Eye spy or die.

cooking

Tags: , , , , , , , ,

Seasoning is the mother of fine food; fire is its father.

Cooking is all timing, testing and tasting.

Cooking is a science; eating is an art.

The tongue is the world’s top chef.

Hunger invented cooking; appetite fine cuisine.

Chefs of a feather stir together.

What is at hand makes the chef’s brand.

The good chef owns the hungry mouth.

There is cooking, and then there is fine art.

Cooking is like golf, but with better putting.

A good cook makes a happy family.

For the ancients to eat well it took a stick, a rock and a fire; moderns require, a microwave, stove top, oven, cookware, flatware, utensils, garbage disposal, automatic dishwasher, TV, laptop, and a cooking show.

perception

Tags: , , , , , ,

There is me in every she and he and we.

Eyes are made of cries and sighs and also highs and sometimes lies.

We crack perception’s door, then slam it on reality’s foot.

The more accurate the perception the more obvious the imperfection.

We meld our maze and map to match.

Self-perception loves deception.

The leaning tower of perception will one day fall to the facts.

We are what we can’t see.

What we don’t percieve, we invent.

Constancy is perception’s best friend.

Reality is dark; perception is a flashlight.

Those who don’t trust their eyes will fall down in broad daylight.

hungry

Posted: September 23, 2013 in hungry
Tags: , , , , , , , ,

We’re simple guts with endless “buts.”

A table knife can win a wife and slice and dice a healthy life.

Nothing beats busy like hungry.

Haste lays waste to taste.

Hunger jukes; surfeit pukes.

Hunger created the shotgun — and the megaton.

Hungry worms its well-worn way to satiety.

Hunger breeds what it can’t feed.

The simple stomached are many-minded.

Blessed are the hungry for they will never be lonely.

As long as you are hungry, I am a philanthropist.

exodus

Posted: September 11, 2013 in exodus
Tags: , , , , , , , ,

Exits begin above the chin.

Exit signs show up in whines.

The thrilling climb beats the couch behind.

Upon abandoning our pots, we find food on the ground.

Exit every failure accelerating.

Comforts anesthetize; dangers resuscitize.

Bigger bravely farewells smaller.

Speedboat away from the harmful; drain the ocean behind you.

When ethnicity grows up, she sneaks out of the house to party with humanity.

The worst thing about going back is what you will miss by not going forward.

Defamation is trepanation; by it we escape enskullment.

To leave is to arrive.

Every slave is a reluctant Moses.

It takes a tearful leave-taking for an individual to become a colony, a tumultuous departure for a colony to become a nation and a grand and epic exodus for a nation to become a loving world.

explanations

Tags: , , , , , ,

Campaign, refrain or feign insane, but never try to just explain.

At the center of the most carefully worded explanation reigns confusion.

Thoughts are quick and so are crimes, but explanations take lifetimes.

Explicate, elucidate, and excavate yourself of hate.

Fools explain; the wise refrain.

What we explain still carries pain.

Explanations are the Legos of civilizations.

What we understand, we control — maybe.

A rule frightens what an explanation coaxes back.

One conflagration; one thousand explanations.

We explain, then throw a psychic dead bolt.

alphabet

Tags: , , , , ,

The alphabet preserves our wit.

Q is rare, but Eeeeee is everywhere!

The end is ever sand; Z has replaced the &.

Zed’s not dead but Lord instead of a zzzzzillion beds!

The alphabet houses our lit and banks and vaults our holy writ.

Sound signs are the time machines that carry us back to our family waiting in the past.

Alpha bits may link us yet to all the world without a jet.

Ye letter thorn is now forlorn, but E and T now famous be.

Letters are the old railroad tracks that new knowledge travels on.

The highest high resides in Thy and not in I.

When u loves n, thankfully r loves e.

Abcdarians are seldom contrarians, but A to Z are free to be anything to you and me.

Alpha bit what zeta spit.

In five letters there is a tease, and in one less greatest of these.

brief

Posted: September 1, 2013 in brief
Tags: , , , , ,

Is was.

One plus one is too.

Wax war; wan world.

Kaboom! Resume.

Snort at mort — cavort

“And’s” and “but’s” make us all nuts.

The “a’s” from graves do our “the’s” raise.

Don’t out your am to every him.

Never’s as unlikely as forever.

“Oh’s!” no our so’s.

If is less of yes.

Aye aye and die.

I am not them.

Know no no.

In is all out.

Was does.

Was is.

Is, is.

bureaucracy

Posted: August 30, 2013 in bureaucracy
Tags: , , , , , ,

In the beginning was the chaos; then God said, “Let there be a file cabinet.”

Folders keepers, labels reapers.

A sticky a day keeps the stickler away.

Every petty bureaucrat lives to guard a narrow slat.

If the front desk gives short shrift, come back and try the later shift.

An inspector is a hopping toad; he courts, warts, and aborts with code.

The bigger the bureaucracy the worse fit for humanity.

The ax feels no pain.

Hierarchy is a type of malarkey.

The soul’s safe, self-loving asides, must trump the brutal rules made by pride.

We each maintain bureaucracy to guard our soul’s aristocracy.
