I Can't Sleep

 Another sleepless night

Another chance to make things right?

NAY! For the Justice is flawed!

And the law? Tis but a wad-

Of lies and the ilk of sexist pigs.

Sexist? Aye! For they only see the man.

Never the woman, it's bad! It's sad!

Sad indeed!

But! I am glad. Glad! For I found God 

In the bowels of criminals, the very bottom-

I found God.

Praise be to He who forgives all!

I feel small, yet have the gall-

To be one of the chosen people.

To have found church with no steeple

But, a cell door for want of a church.

Or a mosque.  As I lurch-

Like a boss, as I search-

For forgiveness,  for crimes I did not do

To sleep! Oh! Perchance to dream! 

Of a time when I am free

Oh Lord!  Let me be-

And see-

Freedom!!

Perhaps then is when

I can sleep

Forest Quest

 Primary Mission To create and facilitate a LARP (Live Action Role Play) system designed for children.  Goals Forest Quest's main focus is to encourage children from the age of 5 years-old and up to participate in outdoor activities, with the emphasis on role-play and imagination.  Many of the activities require physical and mental skills, as well as, the encouragement to further develop motor-control and problem-solving.  Peer-building is an important benefit of participation.  Children AND adults are encouraged to use their imagination.

I'm Coming Home

 The fly buzzed loudly in the hot summer sun. It circled and landed on the old man's faded blue dress pants. He barely noticed as he sat quietly watching the crowd; the hum of the old fighter planes overhead drowned out the gasps of the spectators and the squeals of the children. It was a magnificent, sunny, summer day in Tillsonburg, and wispy white clouds slowly sailed by on a endless carpet of blue. The gathered ensemble craned their necks to watch the aerial acrobatics in absolute amazement as skilled pilots expertly demonstrated the finesse of the Canadian vintage airplanes overhead. The fly started to pester the man sitting in the wheelchair. He tried vainly to chase it away, but his wrinkled hand was too slow. Many years ago, he may have been nimble and quick, but now his hands were gnarled into a claw by arthritis, and spotted by age. The bothersome insect buzzed his face and it was all he could do to purse his lips and blow, trying to shoo the fly away. No one noticed ...
