Poem Artwork

If you are very lucky you will have 100,
If you are a record maker you may have 115,
Most will have around 85,
Chapters full of life.

As this current chapter comes to an end, what remains are empty pages,
Where an opportunity to write the next part of your story emerges.
Past chapters may have had more defeats than you could imagine and predict,
But what really good story doesn’t have a little conflict?!
One or two chapters doesn’t tell an entire story, it’s just character building,
For the journey to an epic ending.

You are the illustrator and the writer,
Each chapter is created by your actions, your beliefs, and your desires.
Draft an outline, fill in the blanks as you go,
For this is the time to let your imagination flow.
Perhaps a vivid, courageous, yet imperfect protagonist,
Surrounded by fewer and fewer antagonists.
Introduce charming new characters and adventures,
If lost, find your way, as blank pages allow for a bright future.

Yes, you may get writers block and endure many edits,
But refrain from letting it be told in the third person,
As your point of view will always be the best version.

Chapter ___ starts now!

facing challenges head-on, drawing strength from past experiences.
Filling the blank pages with hopes, dreams, and aspirations, continue to evolve and grow, shaping destiny with each word written. And though obstacles may arise, persevere, knowing that every setback is just another opportunity for growth. With optimism and creativity, embark on this next chapter, ready to write an epic ending.

A wonderful reminder to never stop writing our stories.

I just closed a chapter today of a great load that was placed on me last September relieved today with a phone call from the person who placed the load.

Just yesterday I wrote a small story to my nephew who just acquired a 1938 Buick Special about a 1939 Buick Special that my father brought new and sold to my grandparents. My twin brother and I were in it when my grandmother rolled it the first time. She rolled it the 2nd time on Route 66 outside of Flagstaff, never driving on ice or in mountains again. My nephew loved the story of his great grandmother's adventures in a Buick.

Future: The Spiritual Story of Humanity by Glenn Martin

Histories of the world are generally written to either celebrate technology and science, or to herald doom. My book examines the path of the spirit in the onward rush.
