What’s the Key? 2


What’s the key?     
                                     



Simply love?
Merely discipline?
Only luck?
Is it pluck?
The stars?
Heredity?

Who you know?
Who knows you?

What’s the key?
Luck?
Karma?
Probability?
Certainty?
Fate?

Does it matter?


What’s the key?
Effort?
Values?
Intent?
Repetition?


What is it?
That main thing
New thing
Real thing
Your thing?


What is it?
What?

    There is a wonderful song, by Tom Paxton – I think the title is something like Slow Dance, or Dance in the kitchen. They’re listening to the radio and he’s motivated to ask his wife to dance….cross the kitchen floor, that’s what they made it for. one of my favorite tunes, and a favorite activity. No one looking, no one waiting, just slow dance across the kitchen floor. I remember when my parents moved everything from the living room and slow danced…I knew then that they didn’t just love each other, they ENJOYED each other…thanks for the memory.

    I think the key is all of the above. I know that most of my good fortune in life, I attribute to dumb luck of being in the right place at the right time and meeting the right people and just working every situation or scenario to benefit myself and others as best I can.
