REFLECTIONS ON A LOST PARTNER AND OTHER THINGS
Posted: Tue Sep 26, 2023 10:25 pm
WELL, I ITS GAME 6 NEXT AND STILL ON MY ONE MAN RIDES, SINCE MY STAGS BUDDY HAS LEFT MOTHER EARTH, THE RIDES HAVE BEEN SLOWER AND EARLIER. MY GAMES HAVE BEEN NO DIFFERENCE OTHER THAN NO STOPS TO EAT AS HE ALWAYS WANTED, MY DESIRE FOR BOILED PEANUTS HAS REALLY WENT TO ALMOST NOTHING. MY THOUGHTS ARE MUCH MORE CLEARER WITH SO MUCH TIME TO THINK, MY PATH IS STRAIGHT AND WITH PURPOSE. LONELINESS HAS NOT GRABBED ME, I THINK ABOUT MY OTHER PROBLEMS AND MY AILING SON FIGHTING SUCH A GOOD FIGHT, MY SEATS HAVE BEEN FILLED WITH SOME ONE THAT WANTS TO BE WITH ME OR JUST TALK. WONDER IF HE MY FALLEN BUDDY MISSES ME OR DO U JUST FADE LIKE DUST AND THINK NOTHING. NO ONE REALLY KNOWS. HIS TROUBLES WERE ALWAYS A CONVERSATION ON THE RIDES AND NOW THEY ARE FILLED WITH OLDIE GOLDIES. MY RIDES HOME ARE ALWAYS A LITTLE HARDER WITHOUT CONVERSATION BUT NOT AS I THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE, WE FIND WAYS TO COPE WITH LIFE'S ISSUES AND I FEEL LIKE MY JOURNEY HAS NOT CHANGED AND THE SAME, NO LONG RIDES YET, NOT SURE IF THAT WILL BE A DEAL BREAKER. I BEEN DOING THIS AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER, I AM RUNNING WITH THE STAGS TILL MY RUN IS OVER, GOOD, BAD. WONDER IF I HAVE BECOME COLD AND FEELINGS HAVE HARDENED OVER THE YEARS. I WONDER A LOT NEAR 74 YEARS OF AGE. THE DRIVE NEVER STOPS, LIKE MY SON MUST FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT AND KEEP ON COURSE.
