Write! with Peter Hering

Do you have a master’s degree in “living an illusionary life,” too?

Don’t let a mountain of anticipation
weigh down your vaunted expectations.
Keep the faith.

There was a chill in the summertime air; it was brittle and hollow and smelled like winter, or at least the closest thing to winter I had smelled since arriving on Tobago.
I adjusted the volume on my black Hitachi 8 transistor radio, the one someone had left behind in the apartment, and turned the dial past waves of endless static; the noise funneling into the emptiness of my thoughts: my kids were gone.

Excerpt from: ‘Promises from Tobago’
L. Jerome

Once you’ve been relegated to the park bench of life, you better bring a cushion. Keep the faith.

Potential is like passion; it doesn’t matter if you have it, only if you use it.
