Verse – Morning Passion

(Still Embarrassing the Kids)

At our age the sex is best
AFTER a long night of rest.

NOTE from Gordon from Key West, Florida:

Key West Rooster

Key West Rooster

Years ago an 80 year old resident of the retirement facility next door informed me that he made no appointments before 9:00 a.m. Morning was the only time he and his wife had “energy” for each other. After a long night’s rest, he greeted the morning with cheerful hope that this could be the day.

About Gordon C. Stewart

I've always liked quiet. And, like most people, I've experienced the world's madness. "Be Still! Departure from Collective Madness" (Wipf and Stock Publishers, Jan. 2017) distills 47 years of experiencing stillness and madness as a campus minister and Presbyterian pastor (IL, WI, NY, OH, and MN), poverty criminal law firm executive director, and social commentator. Our cat Lady Barclay reminds me to calm down and be much more still than I would be without her.
