I was reminded by an old friend today that there was once a time when I was on the big stage and performed without an ounce of stage fright. I appreciate him reminding me of those times when I was young and beautiful.

“A good magician

Doesn’t spoil his best illusions

The wildest dreamer

Never tells you all his dreams

One simple clue

May lead to several conclusions

Nothing’s ever really what it seems.”
