I learned some time ago that wanting was a bitter pill to
take.
I was lucky as a child to be around my grandmother Arellanes
who believed in the Garden of Eden; the magical place where the lion laid down
with the lamb. Later on in life I met a girl who cared about me and as a family
lived quite well with each other because they were good. I did not realize it
at the time but if you are with good people, good feelings rub off on you
making life in the brain a little better. When I went in the service I met a
4.0 gentleman who was truly a good man and some of that rubbed off on this body
of mine. When I dropped out I met the lovely ladies of the communes who cared
about my being and those feelings were felt deep in the system that is now my
body and environment.
The emotional roller coaster of life is tempered by the
damper of cool, a place where I understand what life gives us and that is life
where the blood pressure is high but normal, where pain moves around my
structure knowing that time gives us a cliché of wonderful color and
sensibility.

This is what I need to learn. That I can't have everything that you want, not even a small portion of it.
