Hell, I was maybe ten years old or so. She started skipping. Nothing wrong with that. Except she was in her late sixties’.…

www.stepsonmyroad.org So you think YOU are different…? Seems to little moi that folk are SO amazingly different, yet so amazingly similar, when it comes to emotions, hopes and outlook, expectations and disappointments. I’ve been a hero to some, and a villain to others. Take your pick. I try real hard. Maybe I fail real hard.…

www.stepsonmyroad.org Hey! Gonna STAR in a MOVIE…!! In the same way as it could be said that we little humans have a TICKET to ride, I tend to think (I know, I’m mental) that we also have a chance to STAR in our own MOVIE. The image of the Mad Conductor comes to mind, facing…

www.stepsonmyroad.org Hey! Gotta TICKET TO RIDE…!! For some reason, I have long thought of Life as being a privilege to live. It seems to me that we all get this one, precious, TICKET-TO-RIDE.

www.stepsonmyroad.org It’s a LIE! Curiosity did NOT kill the Cat! I’m not an Atheist. Far from it. (I believe in “A Great Cosmic Kindness”) At the same time, I’m not too impressed with a lot of “Organized Religion” either. Put it this way, I would much rather walk with a committed Atheist, than listen to…

www.stepsonmyroad.org One door closes, and, invariably, another one opens For some reason, I’m a control freak. I have tried, and tried, to direct my Destiny, control my Fate, and plan the hell out of my Plans. How did that work out for you, Mister Moggy…? Um. Well. Kind of… different from what I thought.
