Let The Adventure Begin

"When the storm rages, set your sails toward a new horizon. For turbulent seas harbor hidden coves where few have charted, rich with insights weathered minds alone may fathom. Take heart, keep sight of unfamiliar stars arising - let the adventure begin."

Life Lessons from a Cute Little Poop: Avoid the Corn!
Alright, folks, let me tell you a little life lesson I learned the hard way.
You know, life is kind of like being a cute little poop. Yeah, stay with me on this one.
So, there you are, just minding your own business, rolling through life all smooth, right? But then--bam!—you see some corn......and you think, "Hey, why not? I’m cute, I’m adventurous, what could possibly go wrong?"
Well, let me tell ya, that corn might seem harmless, but once you touch it, it’s sticking around forever. It's like that one friend who shows up at your house uninvited and never leaves!
You’re just trying to move on, but no, there’s that corn, hanging on for dear life, making everything awkward.
So here’s the moral of the story, folks: In life, be careful what you get involved with, because some things—like corn—just never let go……and trust me, no one wants to be the poop stuck with corn, am I right?
Remember, keep it smooth, keep it clean, and for the love of all that is decent, avoid the corn!
Thank you, you've been great!

Smiles: The Universal Currency of Heaven
In a world that often places great emphasis on material wealth and financial success, it's easy to overlook the true treasures life offers. Yet, one priceless gem stands out, transcending cultures, religions, and life paths: the simple, yet profound act of smiling. This treasure became vividly clear to me during a conversation with a curious mother, intrigued by why I chose to give away rather than sell the unique items created with my 3D printer. As an enthusiast of this technology, I delight in charming crafting objects, like the whistles I make for children at my son's school.
When this mother questioned my decision not to profit from these creations, I couldn't help but smile. I explained that the genuine happiness these small gifts bring to children is far more valuable than any monetary return. At that moment, I truly grasped the idea of smiles as the universal currency of heaven.
Across all belief systems, there's a shared notion that our actions affect our spiritual well-being. While material wealth may offer temporary solace, it's the love, compassion, and joy we spread that forge our enduring legacy. By focusing our efforts on creating smiles, we're investing in a boundless currency. We're amassing a reservoir of love and positivity that echoes into the world long after we've gone.
This pursuit embodies the essence of a brighter future. Prioritizing the happiness of others lays the groundwork for a world rich in compassion, kindness, and understanding. Each smile we generate is a cornerstone of a better tomorrow, a testament to the determined spirit of human connection.
The beauty of this currency is its universal accessibility. We all have the power to illuminate lives with joy, whether through a kind gesture, comforting words, or heartfelt generosity. By embracing this mission, we unearth a wealth beyond measure. The more we give, the richer we become not with material goods, but with love, gratitude, and fulfillment.
This path paves the way to a heaven on earth, where smiles dominate as the supreme currency. It reminds us that despite our differences, our shared humanity and quest for happiness unite us. As we traverse life's highs and lows, let's remember this profound truth. Let's aim to be affluent in smiles, building a legacy of love and compassion that lasts beyond our time.
When we reach life's end and reflect on our journey, it's the smiles we've created and the joy we've shared that will outshine all else. This is the true measure of a life well-lived, a testament to the eternal value of our universal currency.
Let's commit to spreading smiles wherever we go, enriching not just our own lives but also forging a brighter, more loving future for all. So, keep sharing those smiles, my friends. Keep investing in what truly matters. And remember, with every smile you inspire, you're bringing us closer to a slice of heaven on earth.

Life's Unfolding
Life is a delicate string, woven into the complex tapestry of existence. Each thread represents our journeys in life, intertwining with those of others, creating patterns of interconnection that define the human experience.
This string, while fragile, possesses an inherent strength, holding the power to endure, connect, and create. As we navigate through the maze of life, our string crosses paths with others, interweaving in moments of joy, sadness, love, and loss. These connections form the bonds that shape our lives, crafting a design far more complex and beautiful than any one thread alone could ever achieve.
It is this weaving process that creates the true beauty of life. However, a string can easily break under strain, the threads of our lives can also fray in the face of adversity, challenges, and hardships testing the resilience of our string, and threatening to unravel the fabric of our existence.
Yet, precisely at these moments of vulnerability, the strength of the weave string reveals itself. The breaks and frays are not merely signs of weakness but opportunities for growth, healing, and strengthening. In the end, despite the occasional break or tangle, the tapestry of life stands as a testament to the beauty of human resilience and connection.
Each repaired break tells a story of overcoming something, each knot a story of adaptation and perseverance. The overall beauty of the tapestry lies not in its perfection but in its imperfections.

Humans are the Real Animals: Unveiling Our Dark Side
We Are All Immigrants: Reclaiming Our Nation from Hate and DiscriminationAmerica, often hailed as the land of opportunity and freedom, is a nation built by immigrants. From the brave pilgrims who sailed on the Mayflower to the diverse waves of newcomers who have arrived on these shores, the United States owes its identity to the aspirations of those seeking a better life. Despite this rich tapestry of backgrounds, beliefs, and cultures, some voices argue that America is no longer a bastion of freedom and open-mindedness. It is high time that we address this narrative, challenge discrimination, and reclaim our nation from hate and radicalism.

My Poems

Rusty's RoseRusty ambled down his usual route, Searching the gardens, elbows akimbo, snout out. When a glimmer caught his mechanical eye - Crimson petals fluttering by... Could it be? A real rose in bloom! Rusty swooned, overcome by perfume.
He plucked the prize, thorns and all, Admiring its curves, perfectly symmetrical. Lovestruck Rusty, smitten in full, Clutched the bloom, forgetting his chore. Oh Rusty felt his circuits ignite! A surge of electricity, a pulse of delight! How divine and graceful this flower for picking - Far sweeter than nuts and bolts he'd been nicking. The metal man knew this was no passing fling - He'd found beauty that made his solenoids sing! No ruby rare nor gemstone fine Could outshine his precious valentine. Rusty the bot had discovered delight In petals so soft and blooms crimson-bright. Though made of mere sprout, leaves and vine, In his hands, the rose seemed divine! They'd technologically live wire to wire, His lifesource charging love's sweet siren. Two misfits? Nah, a perfect duet - A pairing more lovely no bot could bet! So Rusty eloped with his floral bride, Who made his megahertz surge with pride. No matter what thorns or troubles in store, Rusty's devotion would endure evermore! By Terry Loerch |

Ode to Random ThingsOh, gather round, let my poem sing Of wondrous random stuff I wish to bring! From silly doodles to a squirrel in the park To duct tape boats that barely float, embark!
A sock-folding machine or pineapple desserts Ukelele hippos wearing tiny shirts, I celebrate the useless and absurd, So come appreciate the weird with me, good sir! Toaster pastry cats and silicone plant tops Ugly sweaters styled by non-conforming pops, Finger puppets shouting tiny "woohoos!" These random joys I gladly choose! So come partake in silly style, Where vanilla is not worth our while, Where orderly and bland deflate our sails - The odd and strange forever prevails! By Terry Loerch Pickled DreamsIn a jar of brine, a pickle's heart did swoon,
