You sound like a good guy, ClydeBlack (but what I do know, nuttin'). Young, probably, young enough to be my son. The son, though, can help the mother and vice versa.

I've had quite a few events in my 60 yrs...suicide, personal illness, drowning, car crash and much more. I went forward with each...you know, I had my "story" (strong Christian beliefs) to help make sense of it all. Then in my 50s, quite suddenly the "story" didn't suffice any more. I had no terra firma. So here I am one of the crazy characters--all are crazy characters--running around here on planet earth and trying to find a way when my life paradigms suddenly no longer work. Talk about an adjustment reaction.

So, hold my hand all you young folks and the mother in me will hold yours...in this crazy life on planet earth.

Will read what you suggested later this week and perhaps they will help me to find my own way, not a way that most people here in the Bible Belt will understand.

Thank you, my friend
