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”

Rx Do Nots

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. And for many years I accepted this fate. I lived life with subdued highs and lows in order to get throughContinue reading “Rx Do Nots”

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”
