Water
A young lady, dressed in tight, black sweats and a pink sport's bra, out jogging on a warm spring day in southern California. The water-starved area doesn’t stop people from having our well manicured lawns. We are so conscious of our water needs that sometimes we even water the parched sidewalk. And when this young lady comes to that point in her jog she stops to enjoy the spray. She raises her face to the shower and refreshes her beautiful smile.
Spirit
A young girl, on a tour in France, wandering the cemeteries in Normandy. She stops and pauses by an unmarked headstone. An unknown soldier. She puts her hand to her lips and kisses her fingers. She places the kiss on the headstone.
A lost soul wandering the universe feels uplifted. The joy of remembrance has touched his spirit. He finds comfort and peace.
About Me
- David
- Columbia River Gorge, Oregon , United States
- I am evolving. After 50 years of working, I finally retired in January, 2021. We currently live in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge. I had lived in southern California with my wife and kids for 25 plus years. In June, 2014 my daughter accepted a job with a university in Oregon. My wife, began to worry that she would not see her daughter too much. Luckily, (ha ha) I was laid off from my job, making me free to move wherever I wanted. Over the course of several months, and several hundred resume's and applications, I secured a job in the Portland, Oregon area. We are now close to my daughter and are able to see her more frequently. It is truly a blessing. Our continuing journey has taken us to the beautiful Columbia River Gorge, in the little town of Cascade Locks (what a wonderfully historic place this is). Here on this little collection of essays and interests I try to capture life. I try not to get political. Sorry, but I have opinions, and sometimes they sneak in. I don't ask that you agree with them, but I have reached them after 50+ years of thought and observations.
