And With Faith....

i have tried, especially in my later years, to surround myself with people who know more than i do, whose understanding is deeper... people of diverse backgrounds, who hold strong opinions... strongwilled people, who are not afraid to speak and to stand... and i've worked hard on learning the art of listening... you'd be amazed what there is to hear! especially old people, who've worked and struggled for years, passionate people with dreams, hopes, and needs. what i write is a mixture of my journey and theirs.... but arent all journeys interwoven? it seems i'm in constant contact with god, in various forms, simple acts, usually when least expected. i guess what i'm trying to say is thank you... something i think we all forget to do. let us live these waning moments with passion, with storm, with gratitude, and with faith!
