Synopsis

Excerpt from The Buck Up Book

And I said to him: Friend, why do you build a bridge? You are safe on the other side. The evening of your Life is here. You will never retrace your steps. You must go ou on, Forever.

The old man, who had laid pontoon bridges for Posterity all his life, replied: True, I never expect to go over this trail again; but, you know, I've a Son that's coming this way. The author of this little work has been build ing bridges for years, Not for Posterity, but for People Present.

He has been trying to help his neighbor's son the boy next door.

The author believes there are two trails in Life. One trail leads along the foothills, through the valley and down into the swamps of Despair, where those who travel are for ever looking over their shoulders in trembling and fear. The other trail, you will find, is higher up the hill, and it leads to the very Apex of Ambi tion - up, up where the light lingers even when the sun is down. For years the trail of the author's Life led him to the very crest of the mountain - left him at an altitude often above the clouds. Literally living in the clouds loans inspira tion. It lifts the horizon of Hope and extends the wpoint. And while he was living in the miracle of mist that gathers over the great granite moun tains of the marvelous West while living in silence and mystery the author would often awaken at dawn and watch with eagerness the wavering lines of range after range that resemble breakers on the shore. You say Yes, the author is one of those Optimists that lives in the clouds. To have your feet on the rugged rocks and still live in the clouds teaches one to be More than an optimist. If there be any vir in the efforts of the author, it is to produce a Sensible, Reasonable robook of Practical Philosophy and not Wild Eyed Optimism.
