Dear All of Us,
Taking the curve slowly
I just turned 82.
I feel a lot like
trucker and truck
moving on down
the road of now in a
1940 Chevy Pick Up -
no claim to be a classic of course,
surprised to still be on the road,
more than a few rust spots,
slow to go but steady,
odometer overed,
and overed, and overed.
And over those miles of years
"Been there, done that"
lots of lots
good and bad,
graceful and sinful.
Now way on down the road,
slowed synapses and sinews
slow sight to a wider, fuller view.
A few such seeings:
Life is what it is and
best embraced as such.
There is pain, there is pleasure.
There is sadness, there is joy.
So such.
Death opens to new life,
all kinds of each.
That goes for plants, planet, people,
pretty much everyone and everything.
There is a grand growth going on,
an evolution of good.
Some days we get it.
Some days we miss it.
Some days we abuse it.
Some days we embrace it.
It goes on anyway.
It's Limitless Energy.
It presents in a constellation
of forms and intensities.
Our metrics measure
but a miniscule smidgen of
This Mystery
What we can't measure,
figure, configure, control,
we can experience
climbing into
The Cosmic Bed Of Love.
Even better, just let God
carry us there.
"God is Love"
and that's just where God wants us
so God can love the socks off us.
It's a right now to forever romp.
Hey, thanks for riding along
with this old trucker.
John Frank
PS
A sequel of sorts
to this posting
is likely for about
a month from now.
Hope to share a bit more
with an old man musings
on the life journey as one
rounding it out.
So far the title is
Trip
and it is planned
for posting on May 25th.,
but then in life, well,
we'll see.

We're sure happy to welcome
new folks here each week.
You are a blessing
to our little community
here at
frankly speaking
