Sunrise in Gaza
The Hum at the foundational center 
of the universe 
is the gravitational remnant 
of the destruction of hundred, 
or thousands, of galaxies. 

AUM is the triumph of Black Holes, 
and the wail of unimaginable devastation. 

Israel in Gaza.
Hamas in Gaza.

This is where we live. 
How we live with what we live with 
is up to us.

Our response-ability
to the here/now
of each situation as it arises
is what we say,
what we do.

And say-not,
do-not.

I'm retired, and still finding my way--but now, I don't have to pretend that I know what I'm doing. I retired after 40.5 years as a minister in the Presbyterian Church USA, serving churches in Louisiana, Mississippi and North Carolina. I graduated from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, in Austin, Texas, and Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. My wife, Judy, and I have three daughters, five granddaughters, one great granddaughter, and a great grandson on the way, within about ten minutes from where we live--and are enjoying our retirement as much as we have ever enjoyed anything.
