My life’s aspirations seem quaint to most. Maybe a little lacking in motivation or imagination. Long term planning has never been one of my strong suits. Possibly because I grew up in a household that moved on average every two years. Most of my life, I’ve flown by the seat of my pants . . . much to the dismay of my parents and the frustrated bewilderment of my long-suffering wife.
A heartfelt and insightful post, Robert. Thank you for continuing to share your story, stories. I have found it is a lot of time and work to expand my audience, but it is slowly growing. Your story will naturally appeal to Boomers & Gen X I think, but Millenials and after SHOULD hear your story too. We are or should be inextricably tied to the earth beneath our feet and the species God gave us to share life with. I am not completely experienced with Substack, learning as I go, but if you search and reach out, the important message you carry can spread.
You just keep getting better. I was "there" for some of this story, but the way you told it today gave me goosebumps. This a lovely memoir. Keep it up.
More wonderful, moving words. Thank you for sharing.
