It may not be what he uses to make his runs on the 24th of December, but occasionally you know he’s opting for some Skynyrd, cruise control, and horsepower over reindeer power.

Cruise on big man.

i found it in fatherhood;

in the liner notes of
rhythmic black vinyl poetry;

in a worn, brown
leatherette pocket bible
with gold-gilded pages.

the inside cover still
frames the pencil sketch
i drew of jesus in 1966.

Peaks, plateaus, seasons, weather, and time changes. Each have a way of creating awareness, discipline, and patience. Those few seconds of dead space between two songs on an album is a resting place for a mental breath. Listening to Pink Floyd’s Division Bell this morning I discovered a similar place purposely positioned within several songs. The silence was uncluttered, healthy, and loudly soul searching.

I look forward to my time in the studio this weekend as I begin work on a new series of paintings. The breathing and believing will be welcomed.

Worn out faces,
Don’t care what the pace is.

And Settlin’ Down, Poco
