Mostly True Stories from a Half-Decent Man - Part I
I’m no sage, no scholar, no genius with a plan.
Just a man with a full gas tank,
a half-charged phone,
and a map that never quite matches the road....

The Art Of Letting Go

The Art Of Letting Go
The water doesn’t hurry.
It just moves
steady, gentle,
finding its own way.
Watching it,
I feel my own breath slow,
the noise of the day
washed into something softer.
It’s a reminder:
peace doesn’t shout
it trickles,
quiet and steady,
like this brook.
It just moves
steady, gentle,
finding its own way.
Watching it,
I feel my own breath slow,
the noise of the day
washed into something softer.
It’s a reminder:
peace doesn’t shout
it trickles,
quiet and steady,
like this brook.

**Love Language**
Backing up the RV might not sound romantic…
But it is our love language.
One of us behind the wheel.
One of us waving wildly (and maybe mumbling a few “helpful” words).

Barstool Hymn
It’s funny how a barstool
can feel like a church pew
when you’re sitting with memories,
hushed as stained glass light.
I ordered two Shiners that night

I found it! I wrote a Seuss-ish story years ago and decided to find it in my puter files last night. I used Canva to create the title page.
(I feel like I might need to write something about the creatures/files that live in my computer.)

It’s funny how a barstool can feel like a church pew when you’re sitting with memories. I ordered two Shiners that night, one for me, and one for the friends who won’t ever sit across from me again. They didn’t drink it, but I swear the silence beside me did.

Tomorrow is my brother Peter's birthday. It's the first since he died last year.
I woke up this morning and the world felt off, like something important was missing, and it was.
He’s gone... but not really. I still hear him sometimes, like an old song drifting in from a half-open window.
