What Has Taken Over
the joy of camping
or just having the time to watch the rain
(no way I’m having mofongo tonight
but sancocho will do)
the idea of quasi-retirement –
apparently retired, yes, but also qua –
being and being first
working later
outwardly
teaching can be like this and it was for me most times
though like everyone else these days
I too was forced to the script
became someone else’s teacher
though frankly that goes on
regardless
so, an informal educator
can aspire to be a teaching
artist
patches of blue in a grey roving sky
the wind, a parent of trees,
in the stationary clouds beyond these that are racing
a human eye over a resting falcon

Ray is a dreamer- in the very best sense of the word- a wise soul, an eternal optimist, an impassioned advocate for our Planet, our youth, our communities. He represents the best that we are- always appealing to our best angels- and he walks the talk. He inspires us all, leading the way, teaching by example, and always models the wisdom of the proverb... "pacienca, y fe!"
