In My Own Words

[A QUICK NOTE TO MY READERS: Please understand that this is an UNFINISHED manuscript. While I apologize that the spelling errors & such have not been corrected, I wanted to post it immediately.]

Like clockwork, the rains came again this morning. They come every morning for two hours just before daybreak. Myself, I wake at sunrise and get a jump on the day. I love my morning walks. This morning was no different. Walking up the path to the auditorium, I could see the sunshine reflecting off the water droplets on the luscious, soft green grass. The number of deer that gather to eat the grass suggests to me that it must taste as good as it looks. I doubt that I’ll ever have a taste, but the sight of the roaming herds enjoying their breakfast as the early morning sunshine dance across their backs is truly picturesque.
From my home to the lecture hall it can’t be further than about a mile, but because I always stop to pet the deer and literally smell the roses along path, it commonly takes me at least twenty minutes to make the trip. And to be honest, I’m in no hurry to get to the auditorium. I’ll get to there when I get there.
From a distance I suppose that the auditorium looks like any other building ever built on Earth. However, coming close to its outer structure one begins to gain an appreciation for the amount of work that has gone into creating this masterpiece. This building is not coated in gold or decorated with sapphires. It is composed of only simple materials: oak, cedar, cherry, mud, clay, granite, et cetera. But it is the workmanship not the materials that is so striking to the onlooker. Every angle is a perfect ninety degrees. Every wall is perfectly vertical and flat. Every window crystal clear and clean.
I never enter the auditorium through the front doors because there is always a line out front. I don’t wait in lines. Consequently, I enter from the side door. I always have and I always will. Monday through Friday, I arrive at precisely 9 o’clock in the morning and walk down the short corridor leading to the stage.
Entering the main hall, one can see that the inside of the building is just like any other modern structure. What goes virtually unnoticed is the fact that the seats, the carpets, the stage are all made from 100% biodegradable, natural materials. Seating 5000 people, the entire amphitheater conducts sound naturally without the need for microphones or speaker systems. I am sad to say that I rarely have the opportunity to savor the inner beauty of the amphitheater because it is pretty well packed to capacity by about a half hour before I arrive. Luckily, my place is always reserved since I am the keynote speaker at this venue.
My lecture is the same every day. I have been doing this for so long that I have the entire six-hour seminar memorized word for word. While my introduction sometimes varies, I rarely veer from my standard structure except when answering questions. But even then, my responses are pretty well patented. I have heard all the same questions over and over and over again. And though it is not always possible, I do my best to answer the large majority of questions before they are even asked. Today was no different.
