i turned around and you were gone…………we reported you as missing…………they took the report with little concern and less hope for your return………into the night we continued to search………….we had to find you………..you wouldn’t have found us and prayers were prayed and we called for you even though you hearing was poor at best……….virtually blind…

when you hurt you it hurts us too……………….because we have been there before………when you shut your door, you shut ours too………..because helping you helps us too………………..when you don’t pick up the phone and say your alone……..frazzled and don’t know what to do……..you cut us off from doing our part…..to help you like we were taught…

shallow breaths and then no more…………..my soul was heading towards a door……..a voice engulfed me, ”sit . i would like a word with thee………” i was taken to a room where i could plainly see the sun and the moon………….the voice continued on……..”like two bookends that mark each day……the sun wakes you up and the…

well it wasn’t a terrible day, every tenth thing went my way………and i sat on the patio and looked at the trees and a crow not to far away had his eyes on me…………. we sat for awhile taking each others stock and he flew closer to get a better look and while he sat…

i love my clown he knows when i’m down and is always quick with a trick………he looks at me with his wrinkled nose and bats his eyes at me……he pulls a rag from his pants as if to blow his nose and then a shower of flowers erupts and he smiles and bows…………there has never…

when you determine which peak you intend to scale…….you train for that peak………because they are all different……….all are taxing, trying, confusing, draining and treacherous…………..but different…………..like 2 people that look alike but eons apart…. you train………..but you have learned that no matter how hard or long you train……there will be an aspect you aren’t prepared for………then…
