However, having the right to exist becomes more important then the compassion for others. Maximizing the individuality is paramount to any successful community. Remembering to balance the degree in which one thinks of himself and what he can do for is own community. Thus making a difference.<br />

Red, Orange, Yellow and Gold,<br />
These are the colors of Autumn.<br />
<br />
Rain, Mist, Frost, and Overcast,<br />
This is the temperature of Autumn.<br />
<br />
Ripest plums, pumpkins, acorn squash, and potatoes,<br />
They are the flavors of Autumn.<br />
<br />
But the most important thing of Autumn<br />
Is kicking up fallen leaves,<br />
All the while the wind blows beneath!<br />
<br />
Life Goes On......when the days get shorter and the voice of the wind comes calling.

A bed of lush green ferns<br />
Give cover to the smallest of creatures,<br />
But lurking amongst the evergreens,<br />
Black bears roam free, <br />
As the elevation rises,<br />
Climbing over rocks,<br />
Laying before your eyes,<br />
Appearance of a glacial lake.<br />
<br />
<br />

Life Goes On......even in the wilderness.

Rising above the ivy wall,<br />
Strolling by the magical water lilies,<br />
Turning around, there he stood<br />
Walking with utmost confidence,<br />
Amazingly beautiful, inspiring me,<br />
Not realizing I had taken notice.<br />
He is the sun, I am the moon,<br />
A fool to ever believe,<br />
He is out of my league.<br />

Life goes on..........never give up and never think less of yourself. My oldest daughter found an amazing man and they got married in May 2010.

Upon our encampment,<br />
Amongst the shanty structures,<br />
Came an echo of a piercing siren,<br />
We gracefully arose from our mildewed bunks,<br />
Hoping for the best,<br />
No place to run.<br />
<br />
In the distance came,<br />
A faint light from a truck's headlight,<br />
Our eyes looked upon each other,<br />
A shot came from behind the truck,<br />
From the shadows, a figure laid<br />
Another day behind a barbwire fence,<br />
No place to run.<br />
<br />

Life Goes On........I wrote this in memory of the brave prisoners in the Nazi (Germany) 'Work camps for forced labor, 'Workers' Education camps', 'Concentration camps' (Nazis established 15,000 camps), 'Forced Labor' camps (12 million forced laborers). Today you will still find labor camps in People's Republic of China, North Korea and possibly in other countries.<br />
