Summary:

After Part 1 a TNBW reader requested another episode. It would take a year just to even consider it. After this issue, I am closing the pages of this painful series. I just don't know if I can go back there ever again to East Nichols Avenue. Still a second reader mentioned that they experienced a similar pain in childhood. I can only hope that someone is saved. I dedicate this to my brother, Kevin. Of all the characters mentioned in this story only two are still alive. I apologize in advance for all typos. I just couldn't go back in this story anymore at this time. Please understand.

This has religious overtones. So, if you don't like religion, then don't read it. You are forewarned ahead of time. :) I am reminded of Michael Jackson's "Heal the World, Make it a Better Place" song, which was really awesome. We all have to pull together to make the insanity of these killing sprees stop. As a lawyer, I see a lot of new laws coming about because of all the shootings we've been having. Laws that you and I have to live with. Laws that may or may not work or even have an impact. It begs the question, why not do what is needed to prevent these acts in the first place? Can't we make this world a better place? Can we please address mental health, bullying, and the effects of alcohol, drugs, divorce, family violence and other hardships on the children and grandchildren whose parents and grandparents put them through these things? Can we do something to help these people and their famillies before they become so angry and hurt on the inside that it just comes out in rage? Like Max K. said, I'm mad. I went to the theater last night and was actually afraid to go. Two more shootings in Alabama today. Life is hard and we need God in our lives. We need to learn how to keep our families together and love one another. I don't mean to point any fingers. Life has been hard for me, too. I include myself in needing to change to make this world a better place. Let's "stand firm" and demand society to let God back in! Maybe if this young man had known God and His love for him, maybe . . . just maybe this would not have happened. I'd love some feedback . . . what do you think? Is anybody with me on this?

Looking for general feedback, thoughts and nits, and whatever else you want to give. Who knows, maybe I'll do something with this someday. I posted this a few months ago, but the second half has been completely rewritten. Thanks a bunch!

Summary:

This morning's story of a particular style of drawing attention to a tragedy, was indeed an even greater tragedy, given the media's blood lust for anything that will garner eyeballs to the printed page. Herein is an editorial/prosetry rendering of conscience... at least for those who deem themselves conscious.

I just put this together as a parting poem. It took me all of thirty minutes to write. Wanted to leave you with a high note, literally. I will always be a part of the TNBW family. I have a daughter going through a crisis and for a short while I have to put the metaphors away. I will keep my pen filled with ink until we are reunited again. Thank you so much for not only welcoming me into your house, but allowing to walk on the red carpet as well. You are all my heroes... This is not a great poem, but there is love between the lines.

Summary:

My new husband and I love totally different music. He is a bass player of Jazz.. while I can enjoy it... he doesn't really embrace my simple need for 'gut reaction to music.' Music has been my escape through abuse and sorrow. I live within music. He lives within correctness of music I think. These are simply raw emotions I expressed after we both listened to some music. He wasn't stirred by mine and I was left wanting by his.

I call these 'floaters' as they are thoughts that float through my consciousness. I grab them and type them down or are forever lost! Emotional feedback as well as technical

Chapters:

Summary:

Observation from years of living and observing. This is not always the case as many 'willing hearts' are never snatched up by another. But once in awhile... love comes calling. Technically help is always needed but top priority is always the 'vision and feelings' evoked. Can always 'fix' the technical but if emotionally void it is useless
