Keeping temperament down,
refusing to foolishly knock around.
Only being firm enough,
without getting too tough.
Refusing to reach out,
taking a more peaceful route.


Keeping control,
staying out of trouble goal.
Trouble cost,
adds to the loss.
Peace pays,
brightens our days.


The path of least resistance,
increases ones subsistence.
Makes a person feel better,
when self control is to the letter.
Chiseled in stone,
not unnecessarily picking the bone.
A good defense,
backed by a potent offense.
Refraining from going on the attack,
unless it's true ly a necessity to fight back.


Daring to be different.

Being a person of peace.

Pays off.

The Ghost of Mavis by Mary Lynn Plaisance

Mavis asked, "Am I a ghost again? I don't remember being a ghost, but I know I was." Do you believe in reincarnation?

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
