Fall Woods and Split-rail Fence 11/03/2010 — Guilford Courthouse Military Park, Greensboro, North Carolina
Stability,
dependability,
reliability,
trustworthiness
are foundational elements
for the creation
and maintenance
of balance and harmony.

Balance and harmony
are fundamental
for integrity, 
sincerity,
spontaneity. 

Living on the edge
of uncertainty
generates anxiety
and keeps us from settling into
a safe and secure pattern of life.

Enter fascism and its love for
knocking things over
and burning things down,
and you get a sense of the absurdity
of life under fascist rule.

What percentage of the Russian population
can count on running water,
natural gas
and regular garbage pickup?

How's their balance and harmony?

Fascism is threatened to its core
by balance and harmony.
It survives by not allowing anyone
the privilege of relaxing into 
a comfortable routine.

Americans don't have a clue
about what they are asking for
in a Trump run autocracy.

How can educated people 
be so f-ing stupid?
By allowing their fear, hatred, desire/greed
direct their living
and ruin their life.

Deliver us all from wanting more
than we have any use for!
Ever and always!
Amen!

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.
