Blue Poetry
I'm saddened when you are saddened.
I'm lonely when you are lonely.
And yet I feel you with me.
You don't despair. You don't lose hope.
You are always looking up
even when the nighttime falls and covers your eyes.
Even though the world is rattling our brains
pouring down on us shame.
Even though we cannot see you
We are with you.
We are with you.



Highly Trained by my wife
Back in '82, I married into another country, another race, another language and culture, another way of doing things, simple things, like organizing kitchen shelves, tying shoes, shopping for bread, all different... when I married my beloved from Japan, Yoshi.
We were introduced by our favorite pastor but could not be more opposite, except our birth dates which shoulder each other. Our marriage turned out to be a blessing. I'm a pastor, an uncle, and a grandpa. Stick around, you might learn something from our boiling marriage stew.
