Hello, I really enjoyed reading your blog about your life on Five Acres dated 06/11/2015.
I wanted to say a huge CONGRATULATIONS on earning another college degree and completing all of those courses to become a certified addiction treatment counselor. 432 hours is a lot of learning!
It looks like I read this too late to make a donation to your fundraising events, but I hope that your marathon went well and that lots of money was raised for the Special Olympics.
I hope you're continuing to work on that manuscript - it sounds really interesting, and I'm sending my best wishes to you for your work as a CCAPP Registered Alcohol and Drug Trainee. You're an inspiration to others.
Have a great day, with hopefully not too much of the silly, absurd or ridiculous in it!
Beautiful! If you are on facebook you will see I have many posts about the critters I have seen walking in the park in the morning. Last week I walked to work a few times through our old and half abandoned neighborhood and industrial areas. I saw a groundhog in some vacant lots on Monday. On Friday I saw a bald eagle! come in from the river and head toward my house. Peace.

My fatherhood to them a failure-- My worst of myself. Days became weeks, weeks to months, months to years, years... to... a lifetime. All passed. Time with no relevance, my life outside of time.

Forever to see, to know, that which is beyond reach. Beyond repair. I was young, the abyss strong. I was Not yet myself.
Hi! I had wondered why I was not hearing from you. And for a while I could not get in to respond to these posts. Please write and let me know what's up. 1404 N Broadway, St Louis MO 63102.
I enjoyed a post where you talk about all that you are learning. I love your mind.
I am reading 2 books that feel important to me. One is Waking Up White. A good, manageable book on dealing with our whiteness as a necessary first step in dealing with racism in the good ole USA.
Another is, A God Who Could Be Real, tries to describe what kind of God makes sense in the context of what we know about the universe. I have not finished, but she suggests God is a new level of being that emerges from the sum of human aspiration. In that way that ant hills emerge when enough ants are in the same place, or multi-cell beings emerge when many cells gather. Maybe you can find them.
So, it has been a grand summer. I am filled with sun in my eyes and warmth in my bones.
Where are you and for how long? Look forward to hearing from you.

FOLLY OF THE FATHER
My baby girls pulled me from the abyss,
their eyes, and heart, wide open.
I was young.
My son too, yearned for me.
My fatherhood to them a failure--
My worst of myself. Days became weeks,
weeks to months, months to years,
years... to... a lifetime.
All passed. Time with no relevance,
my life outside of time.
Watching. Feeling.
Forever to see, to know, that which
is beyond reach. Beyond repair.
I was young, the abyss strong.
I was
Not yet myself.
