I open my eyes and look at the early morning clouds floating over the  peaceful Kansas  plains. Some  are white and some  are blue. I look at them in a daze and dream  of being with  you. Certain moments of your life are so potent, so rich, so meaningful, so true, so righteous, that they live forever. Your life is a series of moments, some you regret and need  to forget.  Some of those righteous ones are living realities, as present now as they ever were, waiting to be revisited by anyone who has learned to step outside time's relentless march and step into that vast, patient space where those   righteous moments dwell. Collect moments , not things. Things rust, get in the way, become hard to look at and lose their beauty. But those special moments are always there, yearning to be recalled. You were one of those righteous moments in my life, still always there, waiting to be recalled.                                                                                Jon York  2025

Righteous Moments
I open my eyes and look at the early morning clouds floating over the  peaceful Kansas  plains. Some  are white and some  are blue. I look at them in a daze and dream  of being with  you.
