The late morning sun glints off the Atlantic as a brisk breeze curls around the granite bench at Kuhlman’s Corner, which sits in the 90-degree bend of US Highway 80 on this easternmost Georgia coastal island. I press my hand to the frosty seat—always colder here, even under a Georgia blue sky. I sit and reflect here often. Sometimes I pray. I see a woman walking towards me. She wears a rigid orthopedic boot—one of those molded plastic and Velcro affairs—adorned with a miniatu

“’Tis the Season” Tybee Island has turned crisp and sunny again, which cheers both Calista—my PTSD service dog—and me. I can always tell she’s happy: she’s got that spark in her eyes, and her tail won’t stop wagging. If only my seventy-five-year-old rear end could wag too! Instead, we content ourselves with a stroll down […]

Went to text him yesterday but first opened my Facebook and there it was. His obituary. So, I called another high school friend. […]

You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in you. Isaiah 26:3

He had been listening to Simon and Garfunkel on the way back to FArmstrong after that reunion of many classes. He had looked around the room that […]

From Something Interest The shouting began in the bread aisle. An old man struck his cane against the floor, and the sound silenced the store. A teenager froze. Everyone turned. My name’s George. I’m seventy-two. Vietnam vet. Widower. Most days, I keep to myself. Since Linda passed, the little house has been too quiet. I […]

The truth hit with a force that didn’t bother with warning, like a freight train barreling through the dark, cutting across the stillness of those Georgia nights in the mountains. I remember sitting there, hands folded, gazing out at the fields and wondering if my work in the world would hold […]
