Clearing the Lane
Strikes are indeed demonstrative and gutter balls are not helpful… happiness is making the spare. Smashing the headpin creates doable spares… a change in approach. Missing the headpin leads to difficult spares… a change in tactic Glancing the headpin makes a dreaded split… often a lose/lose Making the spare is a calling… to clear theContinue reading “Clearing the Lane”

Rings of Time
Like a tree my soul’s girth increases each year. The seasons of life affect with effect as I grow without fear. The rings are not spiral steps rather a labyrinth path. As age my core rings… seasons expand me with freshness. So, too, there are knots… the harshness leaves me breadth-less. The rings are myContinue reading “Rings of Time”
S. E. R.
The past five years have been momentous… moment to moment stupendous. I am an old man with a lot done… With more to do to lengthen the run, I enjoyed the bitter cold and the warm sun. After fifty years of work, there’s a lot to tell… I took and gave direction well; To beContinue reading “S. E. R.”

So, strive for what I need and then with care proceed. In prayer, I must reply but not mindlessly comply… ToContinue reading “Seek and Find”
The Tooth
The whole tooth and nothing but the tooth… the tooth is not free. Here it comes, dad said, as he lowered the bucket and then the handle broke wiping out my tooth but the root was OK… the answer was a crown. Fifty years of cleanings with some caries and a bout with periodontitis, impactContinue reading “The Tooth”
