Make Your Book; Sing Your Song; Making Your Book on Nothing

Getting things done on nothing.
Making things happen on nothing.

Enjoying what has been abandoned.
Enjoying and working with what others leave behind.

You don't need money to make things happen.
You don't need money to get things done.

Sing your song.
Make things happen.

A PICTURE OF LIFE - A Poem

From the book POEMS FROM A LIFE LESS TRAVELED
By Jack Truman

A PICTURE OF LIFE

As I look about

I see life

In its own picture

A picture of life

In a way

A way that makes our eyes see things

And yet our heart sees another

A picture of life

Is simple

Yet difficult

In its own way

For in the picture

You see visions

Sometimes not the same

But a picture to be seen

With a picture

You see the depthness

The meaning in the art

The art which makes a picture

A picture of life

To see as one may see

Life is a picture

For it has a frame

A frame which blocks it

To make it separate

From the others

To show of how a picture is life

And of how life is a picture
