Lines on a Paper Napkin

These are my lines on a paper napkin. Napkins are disposable. When no longer useful we discard them. We too are useful and eventually go away. However descriptions of past places and unusual and challenging events and funny risky and tragic episodes are flotsam that keep our essences in the life current of succeeding generations. This book coheres a riot of random chatter from my life a life not boring or uninteresting but a life pulsing with adventures. An examined life full of trials trauma fun frolic risk sorrow silliness great joy and worth telling for the inherent lessons. Eventually I'll forfeit my being; however by putting my lines in a book perhaps this life won't end up in a waste bin so quickly.
