Lines on a Paper Napkin

These are my lines on a paper napkin.Napkins are disposable. When nolonger useful, we discard them. Wetoo are useful and eventually go away.However, descriptions of past placesand unusual and challenging events andfunny, risky, and tragic episodes areflotsam that keep our essences in thelife current of succeeding generations.This book coheres a riot of randomchatter from my life, a life not boringor uninteresting, but a life pulsing withadventures. An examined life full oftrials, trauma, fun, frolic, risk, sorrow, silliness, great joy, and worth telling forthe inherent lessons. Eventually I'll forfeitmy being; however, by putting my lines ina book, perhaps this life won't end up in awaste bin so quickly.
