NOTES FROM THE SOUL PROPRIETOR

June 2000

Regarding the "Preservation of Character"...
Like so many matters of the heart- It is best left undefined...

Yet somehow 'seems necessary to talk about it!

Founder; Preservation of Character... Using a rural way to tell a story...
Advocacy, Promotion & Education-

* Developing/Small Farms & Business *Notions in Humanality...

November 2012

There are things I know- but dare not tell myself...

February 2012
It is far more expensive to be poor than rich...

December 2011

To say... or not to say- That's a good question...
                                                     
September 2011
If I expected perfection from my friends- I won't have any!

June 2011
Inarguably my perspective…
& contribution to our awesome truth...

May 2011

Seldom an excuse- Usually a reason...

April 2011
As a boy I would try to imagine myself old...
Now I am trying to imagine myself young.

October 2010

Tell me the same-old story... Tell me the same-old story...
There are far fewer stories than ways they are told…

August 2010
There is no such thing as a "perfect" decision...
We can only work & hope for the best...

June 2010
A "lesser" solution practiced... is better than an "ideal" not!

March 2010
My younger coharts work so hard to become something...
While on the other hand- I am something!

January 2010
It is often more difficult to come up with the question than the answer...

May 2009

Pointing out the flaws of others to get ahead...

is a good way to fall behind!

November 2008
On one hand we reach out to promote & work for justice...
& on the other we live & do inspite of...

April 2008

Never pass by an opportunity to be nurtured…

March 2008
Input is always welcomed... sometimes taken!

May 2007
Sometimes a lie is closer to the truth than the truth is...
My good buddy Jim tells me he understands this but-
He is not sure if he trusts me with it!

November 2006

“One man’s story is another’s metaphor…”

October 2006
I am just not smart enough to understand all that I say and do!

While I don't consider myself to be of the highest of intelligence..
I do believe myself to have a very "wide intelligence"-
An intelligence I share with others...

August, 2006
It is often said that we are only limited by our imaginations-
For me... its been my pocketbook!

May, 2006
Self importance is an illusion!

December, 2005
Its not so much what we do- but how and why we do it!
Similar realizations;
Its not how smart we are-. but how we are...

Its not how long we've been here-. but how we are...

September 2005
Pretend you love me...
I’ll never know the difference…

June 2005
How can we know when those smart guys are lying?

October, 2004

So many possibilities- But my feet just won't go as fast as my head!

September, 2004

Three-Fourths of pain is resistance... This is just not a perfect place we live!

June, 2003

At the end of every good idea... is a can of worms!

July 11, 2002

Everyone has something to say!
Usually influenced by their time & culture...

May 2002

It’s not that I had nothing to say... but only that I had more to do!

False Hope is better than no Hope!
It's gotten me through some pretty rough times!

July 2000
My good buddy tells me I need to get out of Dunn County and travel more... While traveling may be good I will likely do more of one day...
It would not be because I am lacking- I have been as deep as he's been far!

June 2000
Have you done this before? How did you learn all this?

* What you got to do is this- Hang out in the subject matter long enough to acquire the proper illusion that you know what you are doing... Then you go do it... This is where the learning really starts!

May 2000

Regarding the "Preservation of Character Society"...
Like so many matters of the heart- It is best left undefined...

Yet it somehow seems necessary to talk about it!

September 1999
Nothing is forever... temporary is a long time...

March 1987

In an absurd world… It seems there is nothing more real than raising a fish!
