My Cadillac Journey
What a Journey for a 50-year survivor of rust, accidents, broken parts, and even politics. I am still on the road today, and I think I look pretty decent for my age. Any respectful girl would try her best. I began my traveling life on December 15, 1966, when my last Cadillac Factory check was … Continue reading My Cadillac Journey
That Sneaky Voice of Confidence
Did you hear that little squeaky voice today? Just behind you and a bit lower than your shoulders? You know? The sly sneaky one that says, "If I had only done this or that, I would be somebody?" That voice, the confidence vampire, exists for many of us. Most of us might have wanted a … Continue reading That Sneaky Voice of Confidence
Sing Your Journey
The mind so heavy with thoughts one's eyes cannot look up, the heart so burdened with worries it sinks like stone. But the soul, ah that soul, will be freed from heart and mind and flesh, think all that is life, love all that is right, leaving the heart and mind under. See my sunrise … Continue reading Sing Your Journey
Treading My Path
Each a beginning, a discovery, a first for us. Each thought of ourselves as special and different. Me, full of anger, lashing out at the world of hunger and nothingness, to face an enemy that knew nothing of me, and felt not the first of my mighty blows. You, with your own faceplants and embarrassments. … Continue reading Treading My Path
Soul Direction
And, the stillness of the night, gives way slyly to the red hues of the birthing sun. Silence is pregnant and full now, goose bumps flow on my arms and engorge me during this change. I wonder, if the soul is not like a bubble lying deep in the ocean. Rising maddeningly, striving for freedom, … Continue reading Soul Direction
God Asked me
What is your worth to the world? What makes you other than sand? What did you add to the effort to keep the stars shining and spinning? "Well, I was always trying to help a lessor one!" Common, many millions before ye! "What else?" I tried to help every child crying, lost, alone... "Also common. … Continue reading God Asked me
Dancing in Life
She won't tell you of her past unless she really knows you. Her loving eyes will dart around you, but not look directly. The pain must have been early and often. Though even now, someone hurts her, making snide remarks about her hair, her curves, her laugh, her heart. With her kind eyes and sly … Continue reading Dancing in Life
Arc Of Life
It was his last autumn. The one he never dreamed would come. He stood at the top of a rise with a dirt-colored road that seemed to wind through the most beautiful colors he had ever seen, with early morning sun slowly changing the details. A wonderful barrage of reds, yellows, oranges, hung in front … Continue reading Arc Of Life
Someone with Me
A northern howl blustered through the pine trees over the Snake River causing white topping in the already aggravated flow. Colby was seated, just like me, on an escarpment, looking down on the violence, hearing the waters trying to punish the rocks, while the wind tore at our hair and whipped our clothes back and … Continue reading Someone with Me
