Amadeo Giannini 1870-1949 Founder Bank of America
(Regarding Amadeo Giannini)
humble hearted titan
emerged from the
immigrant crowd as
a thirteen-year-old
self-made broker of
produce a farmer’s
best friend whose
success built small
fortune the capital
seed to establish a
bank the first ever to
lend to the little guy
laborers working poor
now had a third hand
to help carve their piece
of American dreams

Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte

no dust here
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

I was not aware of Amadeo Giannini and his significant gift to working people. Thanks. I was even on this planet with him the last eleven years of his life.
