The Canoe at Fish Creek 09/27/2012 — Penobscot Bay, Deer Isle, Maine
It's a little bit out of hand.
The only people with a chance
of bringing balance and harmony
back into play
are the American voters--
assuming the election is held as scheduled
and systems are functioning normally.
But who can count on that?
Who can count on anything?

Well.
The silence is still there,
and we are still capable
of finding our own fulcrum
and living from there to right our world.
Shoulders above our feet,
steady as she goes.
In a world that is depending on us
to take on the forces of destabilization,
and say "NO!" to crazy and "Yes!" to sane.

May it be so all the way back to
the normal distribution curve worldwide!

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.
