“It is those we live with and love and should know who elude us.” ~ Norman Maclean

Hope that this isn’t a mistake to make contact… there are no unknown dangling promises here, and nothing needs to break but I want you to know that in the hard hours under tonight’s uncertain skies, I go to my zoo, I ask the elephants what to do and the answer I find is; tell yourself no more lies. But where you are concerned, I never learned to ask; what can I do to ease things for you? I can tell you though that after I lost my way, broken by the deluge of pain, I found no sweet kindness in my refuge of rage. Please make no mistake, there is no repair here I can offer that will make your hill easier to climb but I’m troubled to know that I let you go because I could never offer you the key to what you wanted from me.

Restless night last night so I picked up Genesis and got as far as the part where God says to Abraham, “Kill me a son.”

Naturally Abe says, “No, you got to be kidding me.”

God says “Word!”

Abe goes home. Sarah asks, “How was your day?”

He tells her…. She says, “Oh, my”…. Abe shrugs and says, “Waddayagonnado?”

I ain’t them but I woke up thinking dark thoughts about what’s been happening and the whole thing made sense to me at 3 AM. With apologies to Bob Dylan, I gave up making lists of who has checked in and who has checked out. I slept better after that. Waddayagonnado? Indeed!
 
RIP Phil Savath, December 28th, 1946 – November 3rd, 2004.
