James Weldon Johnson..Poet
Chivalry is the rule... no exceptions.
-Don O. Richardson
" You cannot push the River" ..."You cannot step twice into the same River"... "Eventually, all things merge into one and a River Runs thru it.

Yet the Wild must win, and a day will come when I shall be overthrown.
Then when as wolf-dogs fight we've fought, the lean wolf-land and I;
Fought and bled till the snows are red under the reeling sky;
Even as lean wolf-dog goes down will I go down and die.
Robert Service".

Don-O
A lot of fun...a little mystery...a lot of depth. Build and believe in lifelong friendships..... Chivalry still rules.... Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.".
