The minimum standard defining a man
—taking care of his family
The minimum standard defining a woman
—taking care of her man
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)
Grandparenting
Becoming totally involved
—keeping your opinions to yourself
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)
Almighty Silence
Poetry…
Conduit
Of the truth
Speaker
Of the almighty
Silence
Last synapse
Of a feeling
Lost
Nerve ending
Of a forgotten
Dream
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)
Stigmata
Wringing feelings
Like a sponge…
The words dripped down
My lips
Onto the page
—staining my soul
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)

The Bare Minimum is not being SUBSERVIENT to anybody, and taking care of yourself FIRST.
This is not about being subservient, that's why I used the word minimum.
It's a visceral time honored concept...
Kurt,
āThe Bare Minimumā...indeed!
The pendulum swings both ways without missing a beat!
Super writes!
All to my liking!
Very hard to choose...
but I am leaning toward
āStigmataā!
~Laura~
Very kind as always, thanks.
Kurt
