The Moment of Asking.
“who asks” “what to say” “how to say it” and “when to say it”
Between the optimist and the pessimist the difference is droll.
The optimist sees the doughnut the pessimist sees the hole.
Reflection:
You are the warm sun on my faceThe gentle wind on my backYou are the song in my heartThe music in my soulYou are the promise of springAnd the glory of autumnYou are my futureAnd my pastYou are my DonorAnd I am humbled
Thank You for your attention
