Lent 18

Lent 18

(synthesis)

I romanticize

Apologies for that that

I think we need to give ourselves

A pause

And a chance

For something good

Deserving of so many

Repentance for the rest

Then everyone can have

Color, sound, texture

In life

To have it fully

With safety in

Awareness

There’s more, of course

And that’s all right

Ask not what the heaven’s for

But how is life on

Earth today

I use C L Couch when writing formally because it is a version of my name that's genderless. And, frankly, easier for handwriting--I have a severe writer's cramp. In conversation, I go by Christopher, having been named for the boy who had the poly bear and finally being (achieving) fine with that. I use small Xes all the time because WordPress won't let me cut and paste the text from my program page to this one. (Grrrrrr.) I am a career educator, semi-retired due to disability. I live in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania (USA). The main photographs at this site (of the road, of me) were crafted by photographer and my friend Debra Danielson. A variety of her work is available for appreciation at Thank you, lookers, hearers.--Christopher
