As Sumner sees it: What? A misunderstanding life.

What? A misunderstanding life.

Can I somehow
Correctly express
The way that I feel
No more or no less

Specific in feeling
Clear in my word
Making what I mean
Just that what you heard

Not leaving the reader
Nonplussed or subtracted
Thinking my last post
Must be retracted

I have always thought
I was seldom understood
But if I spoke any different
It would be to me no good

Because then I change my flow
The way I share my thought
Then the thing you get
Is not what I have taught

It's something not real
Not who I really am
It is very disingenuous
The epitome' of scam

So I'll speak just how it comes
The way my brain says talk
Then at least you know I'm honest
and I truly walk the walk

THANKS TO ALL WHO TOOK THE TIME

Today, February 10, 2012, was the day my Blog, "As Sumner Sees It", hit 1000 views. I had no idea it would ever reach that point, let alone so soon. I see it as a blessing and an opportunity to thank everyone who took the time to check me out. With out you I would be but a lone voice in the wilderness.

Now it is April 18, 2013. Today, I have 3333 views as I type. The readers have spanned the globe from Russia to Singapore. I have many posts and to show how so many get their share of readers I believe my most popular post has but 50 to 60 views. So, it appears I appeal to many in many different ways. Perhaps. I can only assume and boost my ego with speculation. Why not? Actually it is probably more in the middle. Some read and quit before they finish wondering why they bothered. Others read and think me some mental wave rider worth their time. Still, more are most likely neither inspired nor offended. They just want to see what I threw out this time. It doesn't matter to me. I am grateful for it all. This kind of expression. This sharing of my thoughts and where it takes me is my passion. If only it resulted in a livelihood I would be totally in my bliss. But I will settle for what I have and my thanks goes to you who read my efforts because it is but a therapy session without you. Please comment if it moves you. Your input tells me I'm doing something out there.

Be safe. Be open. Be excited. Life is something to cherish and it is our way of respecting those who no longer walk the earth by living it to it's fullest.

One Big Favor I Ask Of The Reader

I share these posts for all to read and ponder. The one thing I crave from all of this is your feedback. I am but a scream in the wilderness if I post and know nothing of the opinions others have on my thoughts. I know it sounds so narcissistic but it is true that I enjoy comments, be it good, bad, constructive, destructive, or apathetic. I will take each and respect every one with the understanding that your time is valuable and you took some of it to spend with me. Thanks for that above all.
