01/21/2020 - Doug Abshire

Life is such a tenuous thing. Alas,
I find we are losing more friends
and family along with this whole
aging trip.

We've just lost one of my dear,
dear friends and colleges; yet
the thing that comforts most is
that he was living rather than
existing! So many of us simply
muddle through, rather than
running for the prize of actually
living and experiencing life each
and every single day.

We could all learn from my guy
who traveled, taught abroad,
photographed and told tales
out of school for those of us who
couldn't. Still, living exacts a price,
but so does existing. Me thinks
'tis far better to pay the toll for
the former rather than the latter.

Who knows what lies beyond;
still, I pray Doug rivals God in his
continued search for adventure!
So long dear heart. You shall be
sorely missed!

death barc approaching
pray refuse to pay the toll
miss you already
