Price Lake Blues Mirror 2004 — Blue (What Else?) Ridge Parkway, Blowing Rock, North Carolina
If we were only focused on
doing right by one another,
what a sweet world it would be.

What is so hard,
inconvenient,
undesireable
about that?

Where does the vitriol come from?

Whose idea is spite and viciousness?

Why try to make life as miserable as we can
for everyone not like we are?

I think we all should look in the mirror
for as long as it takes
to straighten ourselves out
and start doing right by one another.

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.
