The Great Summer of Philosophy!

By Michael M. Tickenoff

The Great Summer Of Philosophy is a true honest to life story, originated from an incident which transpired far back during youthful times of maturation and misadventure. Herein, the readers will be, for the first time, introduced to these rising characters: Theodore Vontempski the Third (Theo) and Luke Mitchner. Of course, the original names have been changed to protect the innocent, the participants, and the guilty. I have long since used this story to metaphorically illustrate the emergence of “Reality” in every situation, and its battle with all powerful “Philosophy.” We can only say that this is a delightful and humorous portrayal of unforeseen circumstances and how these weighty opponents once came together in a struggle between two youthful minds.

Do not ever doubt that there are unseen powers always at work behind the scene and often right in front of us. We cross paths with these powers and events on a daily schedule but so often fail to realize their significance. Maybe, just maybe it might be better if we did not realize each one. However, some of these colluding events prove themselves to be turning points in our lives and so it was with this incredible but most humorous tale of unusual experience.

Michael is a gentle old soul with a heart of gold and a very rich diamond mind. He's been around and around, just won't go away. If you have a hungry mind, he'll feed you well, just read his stories and they will tell. Everything is worn and torn on this old blind man, except for his imagination! Michael is friendly, he is kind and still learning how to be somewhat refined. Take him with a grain of salt and a pinch of gold because he's really on his way to getting old. He's had a rough life, full of strife with many go-rounds and still he lives without a frown. Sure thing, life has taken its toll, but this man named Michael is a special soul with lots of life and a mysterious role !Remember now: One Degree In The Beginning, Makes All The Difference In The End!..........................................................................................................Sadly Michael passed away in November of 2016 and we miss him.We are glad that he has left us stories cloaked in the enchantment of imaginary fables, where we delight in gems of truth and beauty.

Dedication

In and through this true life experience, and after all had been carefully weighed and considered, I concluded, and was positive, that our first day on the road had brought much needed adventure and a deeper enrichment to every single individual who had sincerely and eagerly contributed to this escapade. Both myself and the culprit in this episode, were thoroughly satisfied that real initiative, great enthusiasm, and the true spirit of adventure had manifested itself for the benefit of an entire community. No doubt, the abundant lessons would surely take many discussions to come fully into their complete and rich understandings—MAYBE? Thus, I hereby dedicate this experience to all those who contributed, knowingly and unknowingly to a true lesson in life!
