Forward . . .

We're on our way out
It's been a wonderful ride
Memories of times
More good than bad
Were made in this place
In ways it's not easy
In others, not hard

More thought was devoted
Than to you may appear
On leaving this place
For so long we held dear
The place that we're going
Is filled with such joy
That it softens any uncertainty

Long Term Short

Forward . . .

. . . onward, upward . . .

I like the term evolution, meaning simply growing, getting better, getting smarter, being more cognizant of your surroundings and better understanding how to interact with them in order to improve my current condition and the condition of those that will remain when I am no longer. So forward I look. Not in a doomsday or defeatist way, but in a positive way that says how can I best spend what little or what great amount of time I have left? And I certainly view that with my close ones in mind, not to mention mankind in general. But I also view it in a musical sense in that no matter how wisely or unwisely I have effectively utilized my creative time until now, I intend to use the time remaining before me in an even more creatively effective way and continue, to the best of my abilities, to make more music

Dread . . .

. . . creeps up from behind
Overshadowing my customary optimistic demeanor.
It's a surprisingly potent force
Wielding power far exceeding that possessed by mere men.
A knot in the stomach causing uneasy nights
Turns to worry and preoccupation with situations indescribeable
Yet very real and yes very possible.
But are they probable? Maybe.
And are they really bigger than me?
Fact is, they do originate with mere men.
The voice of reason from the lips of angel
Reassures me that no matter what that dark force brings
It cannot destroy what we, the angel and I,
Have built together.
So forward I go.

Transcend. . .

. . . the repression and confines of narrow thinking, be it based upon pre-scientific religious teaching or fear rooted in a tribal mentality. . .

Maryland Governor, Martin O'Malley (a Catholic visibly transcending dogma) says. . .

Maryland's legislature ". . . came together around the principle of human dignity. . . "

“I believed that in my short service to the people of this state that the consensus point on this issue could only be reached around civil unions, I was wrong. It became possible to reach a consensus on marriage equality. There’s been an evolution in the broadest sense among the people of our state. Initially, when this issue first became very visible, after Mayor Gavin Newsom conducted marriages in San Francisco [in 2004], I think initially a lot of people had a lot of fear -- and a lot of misplaced fear -- and over time I think people have come to realize that the way forward, among people of many different faiths, is always through the greater and broader respect for equal rights for all.”

“I welcome bipartisan cooperation wherever it happens.There were lots of people making lots of calls and I think that’s a good and healthy thing. There’s not a family among us that doesn’t have a friend or a relative who is gay. All of those stories come together around this issue and it transcends party.”

“I encouraged people to look at it through the eyes of children of gay and lesbian couples, and it is not right, and it is not just, that children of gay and lesbian parents should have lesser protections. It was about equal rights for all.”
