God's Harlequin ~
In spite of all my weaknesses, my hang-ups, my excesses I know that I am Your creation, Your flawed creation. Maybe, maybe, You have always wanted me just that way. Maybe You take delight in me. That's why I bear with myself, trusting You.

Arnold Palmer ~ 85th Birthday
Dear Arnie,
Would like to let you know that you were, and are, an inspiration for me on my life's rough fairways. I often recalled your composed determination, and it kept me going.
Thank you so much,
Charles [4 years younger]

Remembering the Holocaust ~
Seventy Years Later
Auschwitz
One Sunday morning in Munich
Seventy years later
I saw six suitcases painted white
Standing on a sidewalk
Each with a rose stuck on
And nametags.
People came past
Stopped, bent over to read
And continued on with stooped shoulders—
Wrenched from Sunday calm.

Discomfort ~
Why does it affect me so, that the little five-year-old next door [whom I do not know] will not even as much as say hello?

Not Knowing ~
In all the great decisions of my 80 years it was best that I did not know everything that was involved. Knowing would have paralyzed me.

For the Mothers of the Fallen ~
Good Friday, 2014
You, dear son, died lone. When Jesus died his mother was at his side.

Golf ~
Haven't played golf for quite a few years now, at 81. But I could have been a much better golfer if I had only listened to some advice and not insisted on being my own pro.

Mothers of the Fallen ~
How the pain of loss and its sting comes creeping into the daily life of
the living mothers
of the fallen soldiers. And they sit alone, suffering.
