Late sun, setting on the birdbath

   August 19, 2008 – Some days life seems a bit overwhelming, an impossible race to keep up with things, and to bear some things that are  not bearable. Sometimes I get weary, and I am drained. When that happens, I always stop, take the dogs out into the deep woods, and think about who I want to be. I am not there, will perhaps never be there, but it’s good to know where  you want to go.

  I want to be a person who means what he says.
                              and knows what he means.

  I want to be a person of encouragement,
                           and to be encouraged.

  I want to know how to love and be loved.
                                             of course.

  To chase the sunsets, until I fall and
                                             drop.

   Until my heart groans, and breaks.

  I want to embrace fear, and hold it
                                  close to me,
                         and when I feel it,
                                     to know
                         each time, that I
                will be here tomorrow,
                 and the day after that,
                     sending my signals,
                              living my life.

 To get it done, and do it well.

 I am absolutely determined to not
       waste my time, not a minute of it.

 No wonder I’m tired.
