Unknown

I’m not sure what the unknown looks like. I would love to see what the future brings. My daily routine is shattered. Taken away. Everything, while so familiar, is so unfamiliar. It is not like I haven’t been here before, but being older, I face the unknown not just with experience, but fear, lacking the physical strength of youth.

At night, it can frightening. I wake up and face darkness with no safety. I’m floating. No ground. I reach out knowing my family is close. I am facing openness, new possibilities.

I search for the light.

  1. I am so sorry about all of this, Keith. With all your talent and experience, I hope something bigger and better comes along for you. Wishing all good things for you in 2025.

  2. Keith, the light is there…because light always outshines darkness. It may not seem like that now. But there is light in hope. I hold hope that you will find your way to a new place where your talents will be appreciated and you can shine your light into the world. In the meantime, hold close your dear family. They love you. And I care.
