Randall Vanlandingham Poems
To die is to dwell in the past.
To live means keeping the past alive,
Bringing it to bear fully on the present,
Shaping a broad and complete future,
...
Fingernail dirt,
Pounding nails until fingers hurt,
Fixing that fort,
Climbing pines' mid-branch's small perch,
...
In the twilight of amber moon,
Near the Bay of G'wain Loche Tun Thuyr,
Slept a lassie named Shaena Shaye,
'Tween the bogs of Isle Draas and its moor.

Salted, fluffy, scrambled eggs, from golden yellow yoke,
Decorate the camper's plate, from which aromas broke;
...
A twisted path, in shaded green, my feet began to follow.
Rolling waters, beside a trail, marked ways that I explored.
Scents of pine and fresh new flowers pulled gently at my soul;
My ears renewed by sounds of squirrel-chucks,
...
Granddaddy's roll-top desk,
Sitting in the back-room Sun,
Memories flow through time,
Some as though they've just begun.
...
(dedicated to Mom and Dad: spoken in ¾ time)
One step, it will take you a little bit closer,
The other will step to the side and then slip
...
Ponder the imponderable, impenetrable forests,
Ancient, these bastions of needle and cone,
Hardwoods sail deeper through channels of maples,
Creatures peer swiftly ‘round branches and stone.
...
(dedicated to my parents)
Snakes and snails and puppy-dog tails,
That make-up, a little boy brings.
...
Mud pies and crawdads on slow summer Sundays,
Wading, while wishing for time to stand still,
Sisters and brothers and friends, the real neighbors,
Eating the honeysuckle drops in those buds,
...

Thoughts About Memories And Their Place
To die is to dwell in the past.
To live means keeping the past alive,
Bringing it to bear fully on the present,
Shaping a broad and complete future,
No matter what that puzzling future brings.
This is the place of memories,
Of character molded by accrued experiences,
Decisions, teaching us to take appropriate paths,
Roads that lead into the current day,
Extending its travels through tomorrow's hopes.

Randall Vanlandingham Quotes
Tomorrow the landscape is veiled silence, so why dwell on its struggles. Solemnity of the heights, attainable, is quite enough to accept as today's personal challenges.
The Universe is filled with new and fresh ideas, so why continue to try and fill it with old ones?
Challenge everyone to erase their thoughts of the mundane and replace those with heights once thought impossible to attain.
Opportunities abound everywhere, sometimes the greatest things we can do is point them out; let ingenuity take over from there.
Offer the young the moon, the stars, and heaven, sparking them to reach for personal greatness; then, help many of them fan those sparks into opportunistic bonfires.
Having snap crackle and pop talk to you through your morning breakfast cereal is a great marketing ploy...What can you do today that will make your new ideas sparkle-great in the minds of the world?
Relevancy is all in how you demonstrate forethought by your actions.
Words make a difference, make a difference matter.
Battered by wind, rain, and storms of all types, some hearts are still just stones, unmoved by the petroglyphs of stoic experience.
What does the world profit by angst bantered about as debate. Changing the form of that energy to relevant research yields so many more avenues for potent ratiocinative and actionable directives.
Sages are just quietly observant voices interjecting ruminations at opportunistic moments.
Broken records are either good for society or bad for the ears.
