Dear Daisy Excerpts ...
The sunrise I could write how breathtaking beautiful it was that
first morning. That would be fiction. I can tell you the night
before had been dark. That must be true. Truth told I woke after
the sun had decided all on its own to rise and the night before
I choose not to remember the dark details. Survival pulled at my
heart and motivated my first step; that I do remember. The rest;
all I know was that I was there, life started or just moved from
what had been to what would be, my eyes and ears were open
without me being connected, and I tagged along.
In a time between sunrise and sunset one day and long after
sunset another winter night, from somewhere deep within there
was a voice calling me home. I had to listen. When a child of
any age hears that voice, there's no denying it, least not to
yourself, especially when the call becomes a whisper. Daisy I
sensed near and days and nights that followed I dreamt the story
told through our words, what our ears surely would
recognize as words we shared of our hearts. Pages to be filled
with common everyday words, even American slang filled with
history and time origin built into the phrases, words of the
heart and Soul, cultivated in the minds of Earth people,
grounded in soil, fed by Sun and Water.

I needed to tell a story of a
time back then and now about how people treat people, address
"properly", even how people of different "colors" mix. All this,
labels, words, even laws changed with time, but truth of heart
reflected by ways people share space always speak truth. Over
time, I learned and relearned people aren't good with truth,
telling or hearing it, but truth of heart always rises to the
surface through action. You will soon discover that this book
contains no breakdown of chapters. I used page numbers under
protest and conformed merely to be kind to those publishing and
collating the book. Life is not arbitrarily broken down this way
and none of us ever know what page of our life we are on.
Purposefully I designed this work to reflect life as life is
presented to each of us, day-to-day and by seasons.

I stopped my wheels in front of her
front door step. Actually the back wheel stopped but the front
wheel kept spinning itself after I jumped sideways off and let the
bike find its own way to the ground. I didn't have time to set no
kickstand. I had important delivery business to attend to. I
almost had myself totally convinced by this point that the
contents of this letter was nun my business. Those final seconds
approaching her door, knocking my mail delivery business knock,
and waiting for Daisy to come answer I was muttering the entire
time, (nun my business, nun my business...). It was a private.
Besides the mystery was more fun secret in my head and I didn't
want to spoil all that fun. I smiled at myself.
Jim answered. I said in my official mail delivery voice, "Here
be Daisy's 'portant letter. I gots it here safe."
Getting letters safe to Daisy was always my most important job.
