When life kicks you in the rear
Get up
Move into position
And kick back
Harder
FYI:
Prayer is a good
Kick-back starter

My soul longs to be
Where there are mountains
As far as the eye can see
And sometimes it longs
For sand between my toes
And sunsets along the coast
When I retire I will become
A full blown wanderer
Who experiences the world
In total wonder
Unencumbered by schedule dates
And deadlines
I will take advantage of time
Trekking through the mountains
Camping by a stream
Walking along the coastline
Living my full blown dreams

Decisions centuries old
Organized rebellion
Perilous battles fought
Tyranny overthrown
Freedom at a high cost
Many sacrifices untold

Getting to the truth of a thing
It’s kind of like digging for good dirt
Sometimes the earth
Is soft and compliant
The soil is easily turned
Willingly revealing layers underneath
So easy, allowing us to
Push our hands into the dirt
Pull up clumps of weeds
Plow a path for a Spring flower trail
Sometimes the earth is hard
Unyielding
Protecting the dirt
Layering diversions
Of hard rock
Perilous gulfs of varying elevations
Deterrents to digging
Deterrents to plundering
The precious soil
Explosives
Bulldozers
Full-on destruction
We press on
Digging deeper
In search of the elusive dirt
And what happens
When we have finally found
The precious place to build
The right foundation
Was it worth it
Or is the dirt revealed too sensitive
Too raw
Too damaged
Getting to the truth
Can leave a lot of destruction in its wake
Only to reveal something
Too fragile to take

There is a distant voice
Calling
It gets louder
As I get older
Calling
Do not settle
Do not conform
Calling
Love with abandon
Live with passion
Calling
Stay free
Enjoy each experience
Calling
Seek wisdom
Disregard skeptics
Calling
Take risks
Do not fear pain
Calling
You were created for this moment
Do not let it pass in vain

Morning fog moves like smoke on the water. The sun hasn’t crested the tree tops yet. The cool air nips at my finger tips as I try to capture a glimpse of this beauty for you. A scene that causes me to review the life path I am on and the footprint I intend to leave.

Boston
A place of significant
Rebellion
Reminding us
Anything is possible
When we join together
And come against
Restraints
