Chapter 1:- Life

My name is Ishmael.


Well, not really, but I have worn his shoes.


My name is Uncle Wayne.


My age reasons me to bring this whale of a tale.


I plan to risk my thoughts with you because:


When I was younger, 50, 40, or even 20;


I wish that someone, anyone, would have said,


Be nice to your mate; no matter what.


Ah Socrates, Plato, Shakespeare, or even Thale;


why didn't you simply say,


Be nice to your mate.


For, without her,


you have no reference point in life.


Hug your Mate.


Nothing sustains its value


less you set the stone.


With her you start your worth.


 Herein, I share with you my discoveries,


great and small.


"Caring, sharing, trusting, loving, crying,


forgiving, and yes, laughing;


nothing else really matters." - Uncle Wayne (age 66)
