I write poetry I live in a nursing home I am bedridden I don't walk but my mind still works fine I am 73 in a singer abd a poet I really an not good at physical or mechanical things but I really know how to use words to express emotions feelings and my thoughts on certain things is that not worth something too? I went to college I finished all but 30 hours I was a music major a voice major I also had a year and a half of marketing at ivy tech community College I also played the piano for years I sang as a, cantor and soloist at two catholic churches for three years and was in quite a few historical society shows I feel I gave people pleasure through my music and later through my poetry is that not worth something too BTW I also read zen years ago even studied it in a class
