LIFE FOUNDATIONS 101

Locate a large wrecker ball.
      Knock down the old, defunct structure.
Begin new, inventive construction.
      Clear and recycle the site of accumulated debris.
Lay a solid foundation deep into the ancient, fertile soil.
      Connect the heavy pipes:
Pour emotions through;
      Bring clear thoughts in.
Erect and insulate sturdy outer
      and inner walls for boundaries.
Overlap roof shingles for protection
      against the inevitable heat and storms.
Install multiple outlets of friendship
      for renewable energy.
Frame wide doors for entry
      into the bright, healthy dwelling within our hearts.
