A Life Journal For Our Great and Troubled Times
We are at a crossroads in life and need to know the right path forward. We have the answers but we need now to continue to explain them, to understand them, and to believe them. This is a process and it takes a while but its the nature of intelligent minds to hear, trust,...
I wrote this poem on May 28, 2022, four days after the shooting of 19 children and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas. This, only two weeks after 10 were shot in Supermarket in Buffalo, New York, and 13 days after one person was shot in a Church in Orange County, California. If this isn’t...
Poverty really is the saddest and most unjust thing in human life. Especially when it affects seniors, the disabled, single moms, the working poor and refugees.
