Some day, I might...

I revere bilingual people. Because they have a skill I don’t. But I’m not jealous. Because I have skills (and blessings) that others don’t. Many, many skills. For instance, I can write.  I can exercise vigorously.  Not bad for an old man. And I’m a romantic idealist. Many people aren’t. And I also have an Italian true love. We live with each other. Back and forth.  In Minnesota and Sardinia. Maybe that’s more pleasure than skill. But it happened because both of us are romantic idealists. Really, I’m an idealist in many, many ways. Makes me a dreamer. A believer in the impossible. Some day, I might even walk on water. –Jim Broede
