I’ve spent the vast majority of my life as an entertainer; even during my four years in the US Air Force, I did a short tour of European air bases as part of a “Tops in Blue” show featuring talent chosen from competitions at air bases throughout Europe.

I don’t know if I ever grew up. Losing that spark of silly just seems tragic to me. Glad you stumbled on this old gem. Made me smile 😊

Oh, thank you! I wasn’t sure I wanted to keep it, but reading it again made me smile, too, so I thought I’d share it and see what others thought. If no one else leaves a positive note, you alone have made this venture worthwhile.

You??!! Grown up?? Highly doubtful, not with pup-pies running around or with fishbowl gup-pies. And I am guessing you are good friends with that ‘flying’ Peter and his pixie friend. I think we “older” folk need a slogan or motto, something like “The older I gets, the younger I feels” (in mind if not in body…LOL). And of course we will also need a theme song, this poem will do quite nicely I think!!!! Go, FlatDaddy, GO! Keep on rockin’ tha stage!! And the crowd ‘snaps’ galore.

Oh, hell, Curt, you don’t want to REALLY get me going, do you? Really? Because I can do that, Curt. That’s what I was MADE FOR! You asked for it! Check out: https://starsrite.com/2025/09/26/i-know-why-im-here-how-bout-you-2/ That is me. And please, it is “Spoken Word,” so go to the bottom of the page where you can click it to hear the Audio version and follow along with the text.

“Every step you take
is a small rebellion.
Every breath you claim
is proof you are enough.”I can’t even tell you how much I needed to read this. And that right there…I read 5 times. Brilliant piece! Welcome to the Stars!

Wise words left by a person who knows how and what to be: instinct versus chance OR
experience that’s lingered and fast becoming a good friend?!-

Perhaps being a friend to self is quite a good thing and sets us up for being a good friend to others as well. Thank you kindly. 🕊️🙏

It looks like I was successful — to a degree. Fia granted me a Spoken Word group to run. Now I have to figure out how to do it. I need other people who want to be active in Spoken Word to join to post their work there, discuss their work and that of others and do anything they can to promote our work.
