Of The Heart

Conrad Trudelle


In the midst of all this turmoil that we call life

there has always been one constant value that never varies.

It can neither be touched nor seen,

all may partake,

but none can control.

It is freely given,

but far to expensive to buy,

it cannot be bartered or traded for.

If you seek it out,

it is not to be found,

but,

stop your search,

and there it is.

All ask,

What could this thing be?

Is it for real?

Can I have it?

Will it last?

The answer is

LOVE.

And only if you are very fortunate.

Never ever stop learning, and school and college is not the only place to learn, in fact it is limiting the amount and quality of knowledge we have. Communication is what makes this planet better, we have to learn to communicate better. Communication is not only content, but also delivery. talking to or with someone is totally different than talking at them. more…
