My father
A man of modesty, humility, adventure, and generosity.
He was hurt, very hurt and in a lot of pain.
He was dashed down at the height of exploration;
And his person was shattered, his soul ripped.
He endured.
He overcame.
He is healing.
He did not know until that day the love that exists for his person.
He questioned the worth of his life and we all shouted back "immeasurable!"
He grieves for his security, he desires this pain undone, waking in the past.
Bravely he perseveres, this man of modesty, forward;
Living can be heavy but he is stronger.

Up till today but not quite yesterday
It sure has been a while and all is well. During August my family and I had the pleasure of camping in Iowa on the Wapsi river and on the Wolf river near New London. It rained on the Wolf. Poured, drenched us and left the children with lingering coughs even a month later, but we prevailed and endured. We made pizza in cast iron dutch ovens in the rain, we played games and laughed. We had a fantastic time with our friends from Columbus and even allowed the Couple we were camping with a childless date night as we brought all the children back to our house so they didn't have to sleep in the rain. Even though they have linger coughs we at least prevented pneumonia.
August came to an end and we were very busy with Sienna's birthday and the preparations accustomed to children starting school. I also started school, grad school, business school learning numbers and the inner workings of corporate thought. It seems very unlike me. I love nature, people, holism, and spirituality... what could I possibly be doing with business. This has created much though for me. I have been centered in the human services for over 13 years, teaching helping taking care of serving. I enjoy this immensely but I am ready for new challenges. I want to test my mind in new ways and help people in a different light. I want to learn to give sound and necessary financial advise. As I gain in years I find that I still don't like money, but it is a tool , a means, an opportunity, it can be the difference between life and death in the most extreme cases and the difference between being able to retire or having to work until you die. I want to help people of any means have enough to be comfortable to have insurance and to keep their families secure. I also want to reach our economically and look at global systems how they effect each other and the effects of poverty globally. I want to continue to learn about our world and economy is a world I have not explored enough, numbers are a new realm that I am finding I enjoy. The art of understanding in an objective yet creative way...
You can solve any problem even if the answer has to be I don't know.
