Crazy Beautiful Drive

Indeed how they

did drive me crazy

one by one all

again and then some

each in singular

yet similar ways

but had they not…

I would dearly

have missed rare

journey of travels

adventure unparalleled

beautiful, most blessed

jeweled canals of my mind…

not optical illusions

no, exquisite channels

leading me soon toward

river of heaven

flowing from throne

of God and the Lamb–

I don’t know if it’s OCD, or rooted in my upbringing, but whatever–being PROMPT is some weird kind of pressure-stress-responsibility I carry.  In true no-getting-around-it fact, for me being Early is “on time”…which pretty much means everyone else is “late”, which stresses me out more.  No, it’s not a fun way to live…and why I must live alone.  (I don’t wear a watch anymore…progress, I guess–but I have clocks…and back-up clocks.)

I went to Hawaii once and nearly lost my mind…the people are lovely generous folks, but “island time” is essentially clock-less…I don’t know how they can keep most successful businesses running if they don’t have appointments, as in “some time o’clock”.  I never went back.  ~ Cale🙄
