Urban Wetlands 02/07/2019 — Charlotte, North Carolina
Except for the Trump Show
things are fine.
But even that is day to day.

So, in the meantime how are things?

I developed sciatica two weeks ago
and have been trading emails
with my Doc about progress and development.
Today has been the best so far,
managing the grocery store and the shower
with mild to moderate difficulty,
and am looking forward to tonight
and tomorrow checking on more
noticeable improvement.

Settling into an easy rhythm is my goal,
and that includes blocking
all Trump-related goings-on,
and I am getting really good at that.

And, tonight going to the mail box,
the moon almost half full and Venus
were directly overhead and almost
holding hands,
nailing me in place for a while.

I love things like that nailing me in place,
agape and agog in a positive kind of way.

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.
