Jolly Bearded Fellow
"The stem of a pipe, he held tight in his teeth,
and the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath"
As you celebrate your holiday festivities this year, please keep in mind that what is most important for us all is the idea of service to others. I am vowing to renew my committment to service and to work hard to make this world a place of joy and contentment. I vow to work harder to assist others in need. We are here for only a short time on this Earth. What better can we do, than to work to make things better?
The next time you see a gentleman smoking a pipe, be it me, or someone else, or even the jolly fellow in a red suit, think gentle, happy thoughts, and smile at the man. It is a small, but meaningful act of kindness.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
