    About this ebook

    Life sometimes takes us to task.
    So we seek our knowledge from the past,
    Only to learn that life is an ever changing path
    that rolls us in and out of the shadows.
    Like a captain of your ship a sail,
    Without a Beacon, you’ll surely fail
    To find your way upon the seas of life,
    And run aground in tear

    Life sometimes takes us to task. So we seek our knowledge from the past, Only to learn that life is an ever changing path that rolls us in and out of the shadows. Like a captain of your ship a sail, Without a Beacon, you'll surely fail To find your way upon the seas of life, And run aground in tears and strife. That's why the Beacon came to be, To shine its light on you and me, And help guide us safely to shore, To be lost in life's seas no more.

      My wife, Gin, once knocked gently on my head, as if it were a door. “Hello,” she kept saying. “Hello. Who’s in there?” She and our therapist, Dr. Sherby, laughed a little about this, so I did, too. What fun. Keep knocking on my head like that, like i
