The high point of my morning
is waking up to see
your gentle face...

Memories,
  diecast in their emotion,
   —catalysts of the soul

Be in awe of yourself,
ever struck with delight

Gift wrapping your thoughts,
in the goodness of life

Treasure the memories,
letting go of the pain

Releasing the wonder
—as Heaven proclaimed

(High Point North Carolina: April, 2017)...

After a high point,
There’s no place to go
But back to the usual
Life that you know.

Good feelings may linger,
A satisfied air
Which, if you are lucky,
Will help you prepare

For the letdown to follow
That everyone knows
Happens after the high point – 
That’s just how it goes.

Ever have one of those days....
Where almost getting arrested was the high point?

Where getting an annonymous call from a prostitute
  Was the best news you heard all day?

Where finding a used Rolex on sale
  started to sound like a good idea?

Then go to bed and hope it all gets better in the morning.

Saint James the Fisherman Day

Rohr family was nicest and kindest;
They had found it so hard to resist;
High point there,
They would share;
A new Episcopal Church does exist.

James Thomas Horn
Member of St. James Episcopal
As well as a retired veteran
Bolivia, NC

Church is currently located on
highest point in Shallotte, NC.
We are very thankful to Rohr family.

Messed up. Property was donated by
Chandler Rourk.
