Over the past several weeks I have taken the opportunity to reflect on my life and career.  Much of both cannot be separated since so many times the two have been intertwined. This reflection lead to the question of accomplishments.  One summer morning in 1982, I turned right from Highway 3 and crossed the railroad tracks. That simple act set in motion what would define my life. That right turn brought me to the schools in Plain Dealing. I met and fell in love with the people of this community and soon after met the person that would become the love of my life, Susan. Even though I am the educator the life lesson that I have learned from the students, parents, friends and co workers far outdistance anything I could have done. my personal growth as a person can be attributed in great part to this fantastic community. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your lives.

I love all of you and I want everyone to know the tremendous impact you have had on my life.

Darkness to Light

Spinning. Falling. Farther and farther. There is no way to turn, no way out. I scream. I jump, but not out of a hole, out of a dark place in my mind. I walk to the sink in the bathroom to wash the darkness off of my face with cool water. This nightmare is not a new thing; it has become very common in my dreams. I shove all thoughts of it away for another time. After meeting my best friend for coffee, I head to the library; being there soothes me. I find my favorite place in the very back by the books that are marked as fiction; they just do not understand that these books are real, for me, anyway.  A guy with raven black hair walks into the library. I know his face, but from where I do not know. We meet each other’s eyes and for a second I feel that the darkness from my dreams is gone. I flinch and break eye contact. The darkness quickly comes back. Something about that guy was so familiar and it made me feel good-it made me feel like I had a place. He settles in at a spot not too far from me. I refuse to meet his eye but I glance up at him frequently. He never takes his bright turquoise eyes off of the book in his hand.  I read the title and accidentally said out loud, “Oh, I’ve read that.” He looks at me then as if I might be crazy, if only he knew. Just then his face changed to a look of understanding. Bam! It hit me. I knew where I had seen him. He was the guy straight from the brightest parts of my dreams and nightmares.

I walk over to his seat and sit in front of him, never letting my eyes leave his. I place my hands flat on the table. He sets the book down and reaches for me. I have the thought to yank my hands back, but I can’t. My body is frozen in place. When his fingers glide over my hand, it’s like fire but it does not burn. I smile and look down.

Then I am going down. Spinning. Falling. Farther and father. It stops. I wake up in the arms of the guy with the raven hair and bright turquoise eyes. This dream was different. I was not falling into darkness, I was falling into light. I knew in that moment the light came from him. He was the love of my life.

The dreams I have had since that day in the library have been full of light and wonder. My dark dreams brought me to him and he took the dark dreams away.
