A STRANGE OCCURANCE By Jim Kittelberger My mind meandered off course today in it’s own peculiar way. Familiar images but strange and puzzling appeared and formed, awakening thoughts long since dead and gone. A hand reached down from up above and I gazed in wonder, but could or would not clasp. The need, the adolescent wish too long hoped for but now abandoned. The need no longer existing, if it ever did, but still the guidance there implied, but forever denied died long ago with the father. Why I wonder out of the blue my mind would resurrect a desire now long dead from one whose indifference to a son’s need died with him too long ago.
