Steps taken down the path
Walking walking walking at first no direction going nowhere too fast
A stone thrown in his way and a challenge to overcome, something felt strange a change blown in the wind
He starts to look around, so may he find a solution and when he looked across the entire world the only place left was in his own mind, in his own soul,
Saw something inside, something impossible to describe, but let me try....
A future with no hate or hunger, the children run happy and fruits hang sweet and low, work is not work only love, friends and family with all that is and will be, maybe the best word is unity
The challenge overcome he gratefully accepted many more, discovering his journey
And walking walking walking down the path
Going the right place at the right pace
Enjoying the journey

Reaching Out
I promise her. I'd do anything for her. She's my mom. Even as Lanie and Deanna are flying home, Mom is scrappy fighting dying. She lays too still in that too-big bed with all the toasty white hospital blankets, in the south tower, at the broad end of a long slow-turning corner that delivers me again to her private room with the view she can't see through, with the beeping that tells us nothing new, and all these ice chips she can't swallow, and a flood of well-intentioned nurses who cannot do a damned thing all the same.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
