if I'd'a been someone else
and not this tightly controlled
manic-depressive engine - low on oil and burnin'
rubber; a soul crazed for quiet repose, and direct,
somnambulent eye contact...
if I'd'a been, but -
no:
me I am;
child of God,
father to three,
the least and the most, a simple man, here with my father
in Gaia,
Fred to his friends, and my mother Elaine, woman of strength
and morality - Summerside Patriarch and Matriarch.
if I'd'a been - but then
good wouldn't be
so very, very good, and bad
so terribly
scarily present... with Hell to show us,
so we might learn
to discern.
in Love
I look at it All, all this Art,
and rejoin the Painter, this harbinger of
Paradise;
treat myself
ever so kindly, ever so gently.
if I'd'a been... but,
I'd not have me
to argue with late into the night -
and I wouldn't have God to say goodnight and good morning to.
I'd have never loved and hated so strongly as I do.....

Hi everyone - good summer for you all? I went away, learned a thing or two, and now I'm back to bug you all...
Donnie, you still around?
How's she goin', LMSQK?
And all the rest of you - I've missed you...

How's she going, you ask....to which I say, well, pretty well: LMSQ has been to the beach and back....has a car full of sand, heart full of love, and a head full of plans. Just truly, really, love this photo of you!
