​Good Morning,
I've thought about putting all of this writing business down for a couple of days just to try and recharge all of my batteries, but the very thought of it all simply makes me sad. Why am I thinking about putting all of this down, simply because I am not getting the response that I thought that I would be getting, not that I am saying or doing anything that is all that original, but I thought that I would be somewhere other than where I think that I am with all of this. it is with the understanding that there are those who have lives that do not include answering emails from me. I often wonder which is worse, not being taken seriously or being ignored. So it goes. Press on regardless.
Faithfully Yours,
Lee

Searching for love
knowing that there 
might be only so much
to go around
knowing 
some have too much
others have none
too many hearts have broken
under the cover of darkness.

walking down memory lane
can be a fun thing to do
but to often
it is much to easy to get lost
or to remember things 
being better
or being worse,
then they actually were.

​Good Morning,
When I am feeling good about myself, I am feeling very good. When I am feeling bad about myself, it's the worst. at the moment I am somewhere in the cracks. at times like this, it is better to feel lousy than to feel nothing at all. It's all good. 
So it goes. Press on regardless.
Faithfully Yours,
Lee

​Good Morning,
How I wish that the election was finally over with so that we can live, or at least try to start to get back to our lives, but I don't think that it is going to work that way. So it goes. Press on regardless.
Faithfully Yours,
Lee

​faith
hope
love.
words to live by.

good morning,
sometimes rest can be a good thing, I should try it, and soon, and often. So it goes. Press on regardless.
Faithfully Yours,

​For Mom and Dad


mom and dad
you know more now than I ever will,
but at the moment
I'm twelve years old again
and I didn't think that either 
one of you,
knew anything that was worthwhile. 
you were just my mom and dad.
I didn't know you any other way
and the two of you never had s life
before or after all of this
at least that was what I was believing
who knew that it would have turned out this way
the dreams that you had for yourselves
the dreams you had for me
the dreams that I had for myself.
the two of you knew more than I could ever know
I wish that I could tell you that now,
but the two of you are little more than dried sticks 
in a box.
you were smarter than I was ever willing to admit to.
even now,
there are still things that I wish that I should have said.
march through my days and nights.
believing in my heart that you are not really dead
that you have managed to live and are young and strong
having all of the answers now.
I try to keep up with all of this
will I ever find happiness again
I am almost willing to admit that this was all a mistake
finding myself wishing that I had never been born
scratching words across sheets of dead trees.
trying to throw myself into something
anything that will let me forget.
writing for something that I know that I will never find,
but I write anyway
waiting for the resurrection
and the life of the world to come

Moving toward a new understanding of and the way the whole                                       
​ thing really works.
In the end,
the only thing left to believe in
to hope for,
to try and understand,
because in the end
there are only things that really matter.
faith and love.
so it goes. 
press on regardless.

​Good morning,
I keep trying to tell myself that it's all good and getting better all the time, and overall this is true, but there are times when I'm wondering why I bother with all of this writing business and whether or not anyone's being reached or is understanding or can appreciate what it is that I'm trying to do and what it is that I'm trying to say. In the end, though, the only person that I have to please is myself. And if other people find what I'm saying interesting that so much the better. Where I'm going with this, I'm really not sure, but there are times when I have to get out my Stradivarius and just start playing into and see who will listen. It's all good.
So, it goes. Press on regardless.
Faithfully Yours,
Lee

It is all after the good.
It is all after bad.
It always comes after just what we need to be.
Years filled with laughter and tears.
Life is the sum total, not of what we have,
    but what we leave behind.
 

Good Morning,
Sometimes, the only thing that I need to do, that I have to do, is just do all of the things that I have been talking about. It is just a question of priorities. So it goes. Press on regardless.
Faithfully Yours,
Lee

still waiting
for my good
old days
but I fear
that I simply 
may have
missed them
altogether

I first met Miles Davis about 1947 and played a few jobs with him and Sonny Rollins at the Audubon Ballroom in Manhattan. During this period, he was coming into his own, and I could see him extending the boundaries of jazz even further.

​Good Morning,
I know that there are good things come to those who wait, but it seems that I have been waiting for an awfully long time and it doesn't seem to be getting any easier. at the same time, it seems that I just might be waiting for all of the wrong things and I am just being dumb about the whole thing. It seems that my whole life I have been waiting for something or someone to come along and help me with the journey. so far it seems that there have been very few and that the journey has been much too long.

​Sunday, september 20, 2020
go,
stop,
go again
until we need 
God to take over.

good morning,
​not that I am complaining, the reason that I write emails is in order to gethem, but there are times when they come in bunches, which can be a good thing, but I wish that it was a little more consistent, but I will take what I can get. otherwise, all is well and that I will be hearing  from you soon, so it goes. press on regardless. so it goes. press on regardless.
faithfully yours

the search for love
the search for money
the world still turns
and nothing ever changes.

​Good Morning,
Well this maybe pushing things just a bit, but it would be safe to say that 2020 would be the year that most of us will soon forget, for any number of public and private reasons. It's all good because God is still in control. So it goes. Press on regardless.
Faithfully Yours,
Lee
