Being a celebrity is like building a house on the beach
Knowing that, like life, it will not last…
Enjoying fame and fortune // living on the edge of disaster
Each sunrise more beautiful than then last…
Putting pilings into the sand thinking they will stand
Against the wind // the rain //and raging hurricanes.
But // everything gets old // foundations crumble
In time all will be buried in the sand dunes
Along with the misfortune of shipwrecks…
Skeletons of past glory that sometimes wash to the surface
Revealing what we all knew all along
Nothing lasts for ever

Sad but true, everything passes. So we have to live in the moment. Great insights as always Dwight.

Famous people’s names will be in a history book somewhere. Ours will not. Am happy you and others are leaving something for the future in these blogs.
