Sit with Me, Please?

Let’s sit and talk, shall we?

Let the day be what it was, let’s let it go.

We can frame up, somewhat, of what we’d like to tomorrow to be, but first, let’s just be.

Here.

Now.

I want to feel my feet right where they are.

Is the sun too bright?

Close your eyes, it will be gone soon.

In the silence, I’ll fill my lungs, really deeply.

Then I’ll expel all that needs to be expelled, forcefully, completely.

Clink a glass.

Smile.

Nothing is expected of us.

Nothing is needed from us.

Let me feel this moment now, and imprint it on my brain.

This is silence, this is the ocean, this – is being here.

Whoever you are, wherever you are, whatever you want… allow me this one request…

Be here now.

And let’s talk of things that need no script.

Yearnings, ache, regrets?

Sure… but let us all talk of triumphs, blessings and miracles.

And clink the glass.

Clink the glass and be here now.

Nothing else matters.

Lifelong, proud somewhat strident Wisconsinite, I love my state and love to sing its praises. A bon vivant and raconteur, lover of history, literature and good conversations. Laughter and music are salves that I frequently am applying to my soul. I have spent time (too much) in manufacturing and printing and have found great joy in my current position as director of operations at a large church in the same area where I grew up. Husband to Rhonda and father of two adult children Melanie and Zack, I’m the constant companion of my five-year-old Lab, Oliver, who is my muse to a lot of my stories. I’m a fan of deep conversation and my interests are in learning and gaining wisdom, so in the last few years I have become and less politically vocal, and hopefully more respectful and open-minded. Rhonda and I sold our home in 2018, bought a condo and have traveled a bit more, golfed a bit more and are enjoying life a bit more. If you take the time to get to know me, prepare yourself for an invite to the 30th state to join the union, a gem located in the upper Midwest, full of beautiful scenery formed by the glaciers, with lots of lakes and trees and gorgeous scenery, and the nicest people that you’d ever want to meet.
