THESE THREE  TRUTH QUOTES  BASICALLY SAY THE SAME THING SO I PUT THEM ALL TOGETHER...

THAT PART DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY  QUESTIONS

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY ANSWERS  CAME FROM WHEN I USED TO HOUSEMANAGE AND WOULD GIVE MY SPEECH TO THE VOLUNTEER USHERS ABOUT WHAT I NEEDED HELP WITH...EXPLAINING HOW THE THEATER WAS SET UP HOW TO SEAT PEOPLE WHAT TO DO AT INTERMISSION AND HELP WITH CLEAN UP AFTERWARDS I WOULD ALWAYS ASK THEM TO REALLY LISTEN CUZ I COVERED EVERYTHING PRETTY SIMPLY AND THOROUGHLY AND IF THEY HAD ANY QUESTIONS AT THE END I WOULD ANSWER THEM BUT THEY  RARELY DID IF THEY WERE PAYING ATTENTION SO AT THE END OF THE SPEECH I USED TO SAY DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AND THERE USUALLY WERE NONE SO THEN I'D SAY DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY ANSWERS AND THAT WOULD ALWAYS GET A LAUGH...ANYWAYS THAT'S WHERE THOSE TWO LINES CAME FROM...

ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE STORY OF MY LIFE I WORKED PLACES WHERE I CROSSED PATHS WITH LOTS OF FAMOUS PEOPLE...SOME I RECOGNIZED  SOME I DID NOT OR SOMEHOW FOUND OUT AFTER THE FACT...ONE SUCH MEMORY WAS OF TRUMAN CAPOTE...THAT VOICE OF HIS WAS SO FAMILIAR AND DISTINCTIVE...ALL I REMEMBER IS HE WAS WEARING A RAIN COAT LIKE TRENCH COAT STYLE SO IT MUST HAVE BEEN A RAINY DAY. HE WAS ASKING ME LOTS OF PERSONAL QUESTIONS AND I WAS ANSWERING THEM. HE SAID I SHOULDN'T DO THAT. I REPLIED I HAD NOTHING TO HIDE...I MENTIONED THAT TO SOMEONE ON FACEBOOK AND SHE SAID IT WAS  AN INTERESTING COMMENT HE MADE BECAUSE HE LOST A LOT OF FRIENDS CUZ HE USED TO THREATEN THEM WITH A TELL ALL BOOK....I FIND THAT FASCINATING. I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THAT...ANYWAY THE NOTHING TO HIDE  THOUGHT PROMPTED THIS POEM. EVERYBODY MUST HAVE SOMETHING THEY FEEL THE NEED TO HIDE...MAYBE SOMETIMES THEY EVEN HIDE IT FROM THEMSELVES...

MORAL OF THE TRUE STORY

WHEN YOU WANT SOMETHING DON'T STOP TIL YOU GET IT...IT WORKS FOR MY CATS...IT CAN WORK FOR YOU TOO... TEACHERS ARE EVERYWHERE...ALWAYS SOMETHING TO LEARN...TAKE IT FROM A FELLOW STUDENT OF LIFE...

HUH

DO I SENSE A BIT OF CONFUSION

HMMM

LET'S LEAVE IT AT THAT THEN SHALL WE

SO MANY POSSIBLE OUTCOMES

WHICH WILL WE CHOOSE

DO IT WITHOUT HESITATION

NO PRECONCEIVED EXPECTATION

LOVE LISTENING TO BIRDS SINGING...

EVER HEARD WHEN THERE ARE WITNESSES TO SOMETHING LIKE SAY THERE ARE EIGHT PEOPLE YOU WILL GET EIGHT DIFFERENT STORIES ABOUT WHAT JUST HAPPENED...THAT IS THE WAY IT GOES WITH POETRY  TOO AND ANYTHING REALLY...WE ALL SEE THINGS WITH OUR PERSPECTIVE SO WE GET OUR OWN MESSAGES...WE HEAR WHAT WE NEED TO HEAR AND IT MEANS DIFFERENT THINGS TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE...INTERESTING PHENOMENON BUT VERY TRUE. DIFFERENT THINGS JUMP OUT AT DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND WE  JUST NEED TO TRUST WE ARE GETTING THE MESSAGE WE NEED TO GET...FASCINATING...MAGICAL...OUR INTERPRETATIONS CREATE THE STORY OF OUR LIFE AND IT CAN CHANGE AT ANYTIME...FOOD FOR THOUGHT
