All Those Miles
You’d walk all those miles for me? Yes, I would. I have come all these miles on the eve of my first visit to “the Farm” in Conyers, Ga. I am in anticipation of my spiritual journey tomorrow. I am certain of you. Lord, I have travelled far to experience the who, why and whatContinue reading “All Those Miles”
Give Yourself a Standing Ovation
My legislative journey lasted 20 years. Yes, this is the message I received after my bill signing became law in Nashville, Tennessee, outside the legislature. I had bought a handful of these chocolates for celebratory imbibing on my 3½ hour drive home from the capital. I never dreamed this effort would take so veryContinue reading “Give Yourself a Standing Ovation”

Being on anti-depressant medication is not what I signed up for. But assimilation to the status quo was easy. I was told I may always need them because of the PTSD disease I suffer.

FRINGE
Sadly, fringe. Not diminishing life one iota. Just the reason believing came easy. Not shared fearing isolation, estrangement. Admonishment of insanity by society whole. Never feeling quite the fit to humanity. Back to believing. Accepting norm never set right. Pretending to be average, steady as she goes like. But turbulent underneath to core. Wanting toContinue reading “FRINGE”
Beware The Rut
Recovery from trauma does not happen overnight. You may find that healing occurs like peeling away layers of an onion to work on one at a time. The iterative process is painstaking but well worth the effort. The tendency to pause too long in a particular spot along the way can occur. I found theContinue reading “Beware The Rut”
