Finding My Place
78 degrees warming cheer
Sounds of cars rushing near
Separating cotton clouds
Sky bare blue with little shroud
Points of doubt
Flower-lined pier
Lost clarity
Finally here
Walk through the city
Knowing home
Being, time questioned
Feel less alone
Inspired by life
Self-conscious apace
As sure as I can
Finding my place

In the spirit of co-creative spontaneity, your poem “Finding My Place,” seemed to have a connection with this piece called “Homecoming.”

Emerson, that is a very touching story—I feel honored that you feel a creative connection between the two pieces.
What I appreciate most about the story was the unconditional love expressed for a child who has grown to be honest and steadfast in giving his all. Such bonds flourish with genuine support and encouragement. Enjoyed reading it. Thank you very much for the compliment.

dustus,
Just for the record, that is not my picture. I am neither the woman nor the dog. There has been some mixing of the images on our computer (appropriately curious as we have set out to integrate our lives)—that happens to be my wife Cheryl holding Abby. If only I could look so good.
