The Story
We struck up a conversation while sitting in the doctors office and he had that look like whatever he was there for it wasn't good. It was equal parts fear, fatigue and worry and he had tired eyes and a heavy heart and as he motioned to the windows to compliment the early warm spell, I could see his hands shake like a man much older and much weaker and when the nurse called his name he stood and shook my hand and thanked me for talking to him and I thanked him back and standing there in the sunlight it looked like all the fear was gone and in that moment I was glad that I was there to be part of it all.

The Story
It was late and the words weren't coming and the paints weren't flowing and I knew working was useless so I put my boots on and coat on and scarf on and hat on and walked out into the freezing Michigan night. It was silent at that hour and every so often I would look back and see the orange glow from the city and only my footprints in the snow behind me and walking forward I opened up my head and waited for the ideas to come. ...

The Story
I was driving down the highway, in the middle of nowhere and I was thinking about everything that I shouldn't be wasting time thinking about. You know, the silly stuff that fights for your attention. What needs to be done, what isn't done yet, what should be done, who needs what, the car needs tires, the fridge needs food, the house needs heat, the kids needs a college education and all that stuff. I could go on and on and on but I know most of you know exactly what I am talking about. Anyway, I am driving down the highway, thinking about these things and then traffic slows to a halt and there is a big line of us sitting on the highway and I stare to my right and into the field and there cows right up near the fence just staring at us all sitting in our cars, growing impatient for not moving and thinking all our silly things and they are calm and their movements are deliberate and I can't help but think that there is something to be learned here. The traffic starts to inch forward and I soon leave the cows behind and I leave all those silly stresses behind there with them and drive on to another day where all things seem possible. ... Enjoy!
