2 Ways to live your life: by nature, or by grace!



How will you live your life?



There are two ways of embracing life:
Approach it by nature, or by grace.

If by grace, we love by giving,  
with complete acceptance of the beloved,
with no expectations or contingencies to be fulfilled;

If by nature, the love we give will be fulfilling to one's self, 
controlling, with expectations and limits upon the beloved.

Those who live by grace?: 
---never reap a bad end.

Sincerely,
God Bless,

Poem!: Errol Writes of the Evolution of Man!



Errol’s ‘Leaves Of Grass’

Whitman wrote ‘Leaves Of Grass’,
Alluding to the multitude of peoples;
Of the earth, ---of all Times;
Of their crafts, ---all their crimes!

I write of nighttime ‘Leaves Of Grass’:
The Billions!,
Holding thousands of Glow-Worm shimmers,
Their light-filled glimmers;
What life they accord the dusk!

Whether by the action rush of all Time’s peoples;
Whether by a billion grasses,
With Glow-Worm’s slowly climbing;
Civilization flourishes by ‘Leaves Of Grass’!

Great 'Dizzy' advice for all improvisors!!!





Here’s a blog for all improvising musicians.

This is a Dizzy Gillespie quote:

“Some people have a note(s) and put a beat to it; some people have a beat and put a note(s) to it.”
Having said that, he walked away, as a true master, to leave the listener to figure it out.

Clue: He did the latter;
Who could have swung more.

Sincerely and God Bless,
