sometimes I still see
glimpses of some other life
not quite meant for me

  in mine ;)

yet another handwritten version of one from the book

this life is only
a soul-refining process,
progress optional

  Along the way I think I've been at least 6 different people. Some of them I look back on and don't like all that much. I suppose I have a couple more changes coming.
  At least I hope so.
• June 26, 2009, howard writes: I hope so, too. unfortunately, some of us learn without applying our acquired knowledge (something I can relate to at times), but in the best case scenario, I imagine most of us are due for more changes. hopefully.

- a symbol of life’s promise
and its brevity

I briefly worked with Firethorn Productions in New York City and I was able to convince the Charlie Rose show and ABC Monday Night Football to air footage that we had on the Towers of Light. Our company edited the film video given to us. Although I am no longer in film, I still try to share stories of many whose lives should not be forgotten. Thank you! http://rimmasch.com/film/towers_of_light/index.php I have not seen this forever but this was the film.

  Thanks so much for chiming in on this.
