Himalayan Journey 1/20/2008

can you bleed for me
will you take a bullet
what if that bullet is not a bullet
but playing second fiddle?
standing next to the spot light
developing social skills adventitious for you?
signs of love are not always roses or chocolates
sometimes they are simply social effort
saying something or being silent
forgiveing someone without needing to be recognized
being magnanimous.
taking a bullet is easy, it is real
concrete, the ambulance comes,
you may make it you may not,
but everyone knows you took a bullet
you have your 15 minutes, you get credit for it.
can you give to charity and tell no one?
can you take the higher ground without looking down and waiving
making sure people see you?

adventitious \ad-ven-TISH-uhs\, adjective:
1. Added extrinsically; not essentially inherent.
2. (Biology) Out of the proper or usual place; as, "adventitious buds or roots."
