Fame is the shadow of passion standing in light
Kahlil Gibran
When a good deed
A noble act
Invokes fame
Fame stays on…
Entrenched in light of goodwill.
Embedded in that light
Passion perseveres.
Such a fame is worth experiencing…
And yet there is always a price to fame
While fame brings glory
It also brings expectations along
To live up to … for a lifetime.
There is loss of privacy
As you sway into the limelight
Being in the public eye can be daunting
There can be a loss of personal freedom.
Even though it creates opportunities
For it presents platforms
As it changes equations.
As it builds reputation.
Thoughts go on the desire for fame.
Even tbough there is a price to fame
Or would one choose the world of obscurity?
What are your thoughts on fame?
Do share.

Hehe SMiLes Dear Savvy
Fame is Okay as Long as
There is Not A Name For
Who We Actually Are Better
to Be Famous For What We Do
From A Distance
of Up Close
And Too Personal
As Then There is No Escape
No Freedom to at Least Just
Blend in SomeDays Not Noticing
Folks Pointing Their Fingers at Us
Or Taking Photos of Us When We
Are Just Waiting
in Line at a Cash
Register or True
People Wanting to
Be in Photos With Us
Saying they Hope Some of the
Fame Rubs Off On Them or How About
Yells Out of Cars at 2 AM with the Term
Legend Aimed at Us Yet Really What Gets
Uncomfortable is When Folks Kneel Down
To the Ground Clasp Their Hands And Mock
Worship
As if a Simple
Dance Just Spiraling
All Around Like the Milky Way
Makes One Some Kind of Guru
of the Meaning of Life Yet True A
Meaning Of Life is to Dance And
Sing in Joy Together Meanwhile
Getting the Forage of Life for Shelter
And Subsistence Done Often Lost in Modernity
When Humans
Become More Machines
Than Beings Free of Dance
And Song Giving Sharing Caring
Healing Each Other With Most Respect
And Least
Harm Often
Reaching
JoY oF LiGHT
Far Out of the DarK
oF Night Yes Generating Our Own
Sunshine Within to Radiate to All That (God) Is
Just Returning
The Gift to All
Of Life
Our Breath
New For Real Now
LoVinG Peace A Way
to
Be
And Do
