Guest Post: “I Get It.”
Sharing some thoughts from an old high school classmate. His name is Eric Curtis. Another classmate pointed me to a few recent posts Eric made on social media in response to the recent protests over police murders of unarmed African-Americans, and against underlying racism that still persists in the United States.

Sitting on the Bed
Sitting on my son's bed, listening to the sounds. In the dim light, thinking. He asked me to sit with him as he fell asleep. Quickly so. His sisters already softly snoring in slumber. Later than I'd like but then, a few moments to write, to capture the night. Grateful for that, for their slumber, …

Lyrics Post: “You and Me and The Beat”
