when winter scowls,
when nights compound dark frosts with snow ...

Ghost HunterI don't see you.
I've been searching my whole life,
But still, I don't see you.
When I was a wee lad
I looked for you ...
My mother's smile,
My father's toil,

My sister's amity ...
I didn't see you.
Thanksgiving,...

Ending In a Deadly Minor KeySo here's my question for this dawning day,
like a WinWin ruminating message in a bottle

Unwoven MemoriesI grew up and out on a four family-owned,
and cooperatively-organized,
extended matriarchal farm.
Four interdependent 1940s through 1970s patriarchally managed businesses,

The boxers outnumbered the...

My Renegade Sunday School TeacherAunt Mary was a small and wiry mother

of cooperative care-giving,
healthy nurturing behavior,
Golden Rule economic...
