Kahle Kimo Here I am, a physical being in a physical world. Desperate for affirmation that my life means something. Surrounded by physical things, yet often alone and lonely. But just going to where other people are doesn’t solve my problem. Of course, I have friends and acquaintances, and I have family. Most people wish me no …
I am lying here wide awake in the middle of the night. Often when this happens I pray until I fall back asleep – no disrespect intended Lord! Tonight I am on a different path. I started thinking about the different possible ways people, or religions, believe that they attain “salvation”, “heaven” or “peace with …
I love the wide open west. A man can really stretch his eyes here. There is no hiding from God in this bare land, but why would you want to? Even here the fingerprints of man are visible, small scars on a big land. Created to remind us how small we are, by God’s invisible …
I’ve fallen in love with a younger woman, Or at least it seems I have. It may just be a sweet obsession But how do you know? I don’t think she is aware of it, And that is a good thing. I could be David, And she could be my Bathsheba, Except she isn’t married, …
I’m not usually attracted to blonds; their features invisibly bland. But YOU! Your eyes cut me like a knife — your lips bring long buried desires to life. Once in a thousand or ten thousand women I see that ignite a flicker of interest within me. But YOU! Your words betray an incredible mind; your …
Sometimes dying seems easy compared to living, when you’re having one of “those days.” I am having one right now. Overwhelmed, frustrated, depressed by the rain when I need to be out working. Winter’s coming; I’m not ready; and there is going to be a price to pay. Take a hot shower, turn up the …
Old bull– Where are you going; why don’t you stay with the herd? Want are you thinking: are you eccentric in your old age; or in pain, worn out and weary? Does that make you grumpy; or are you just amused and impatient at the frivolity of youth? Old bull — No longer willing or …
I’m going to hate you in the morning, but I sure do love you tonight. Being alone is what I fear. What I crave is a soft touch and a sympathetic ear, a gentle caress during a quiet moment together. Love is a wonderful thing and I have much to give. But without someone to …
I watched a dragonfly die today.Its gossamer wings, bright blue markings and beautiful iridescent eyes:Terror of the sky. I wonder how many smaller insects met their fate in its crushing jaws during its brief season of life.Mosquitoes, gnats and flies:For it to live,They had to die. And now it sits quietly; Barely moving except for …
I went for a jog this evening, something I don’t do as often as I would like. My body doesn’t seem to relish it as much as it used to when I was a young man. What was fluid and energetic is now rough and plodding. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it. Physical movement is cathartic for …
