Ghosts ask “Does it trouble you that
you haven’t done more with this marvelous
life God gave you?” “No,” I reply.
“And it doesn’t trouble me about all
the sadness and loss God gave me.”

Life Cheat Sheet
Back in school, cheat sheets tempted us
with answers to questions at our fingertips.
Oh, to have a life cheat sheet!
Access to answers to life’s toughest questions.
A chance to ace all the exams.
Rough Road
The sign was there to warn us,
but not everyone paid attention, and anyway,

Grip the wheel. And keep moving forward.
What the tree leaves behind
after many autumns, winters and final fall
is rings – a dendrochronology of historical context,
environmental conditions, and possible future issues.
Earlywood, latewood, drought year, wet year, diseases –
no soul, but a body outliving life.
No Lifeguard on Duty
A beach day reminder that no one
is guarding this life. The news full
of elections that don’t matter. and killings
that do, but, compelled to move forward,
somehow we swim at our own risk.
