Going Where the Muses Lead Us

Dive in, the waters fine

Genes, you curse them or praise them. They are the bits in us that create tendencies to be what we are. If you are fortunate to know your family history, you can speculate who you got what from. I am one of the lucky ones. I know my family genealogy. Music abilities came from a great grandfather, art from a grandmother and writing and cooking from my father. Daddy was a bi-vocational minister whose sermons reflected love and humor, but his life as a pastry chef paid the bills. Mother recently let me read a few of the many poems Daddy wrote. My gene pool runs very deep.

A Page Of Life

I turned a page of life gone by,
and found,
four blissful years of love by you and I,
spent.
Tender passions oh so great and still it was,
greater,
than any love I have ever known,
and,
I owe it all to thee my Dear,
Beloved.

E. V. Hudson - 1945
