What’s it All About? October 15, 2025

The cold impersonal

avalanche of happenstance

leads any thinking person,

to the question,

“What’s it all about?”

The inscrutability

of the carnival mirror maze

we perceive as reality,

leads many to conclude,

there is no meaning,

there is no point,

there is no reason.

All there is,

is what it is,

and that’s all there is.

A sort of Popeye philosophy

that leaves us constantly,

wandering about

looking for the magic can of spinach,

that’ll make us strong enough,

to break through the distorted carnival mirrors

that make up,

our perception of this world.

To scan an open horizon

with a clear vista.

On our own

it always seems to be,

just around the next corner,

just over the next hill.

Or maybe,

tomorrow.

Faith is the Foundation October 14, 2025

In “Faith is the Foundation” S5 / E25 of I Took a Right Turn: We start off this week with general comments about our life of faith in the Promised Land and some observations about the world around us.  Moving on we first play a song that is an old spiritual: Glory Glory.  Then a few that are always inspirational: I Saw the Light, and I’m Blessed. And another of our home-grown songs: Don’t Give Up.  Opening the Bible to what many call “The faith Chapter” we look at Hebrews 11:1-3where we see that faith in God is the foundation of everything.  Robert then reads another poem from his second book of poetry, Floating Through Time, “What’s it All About.”  Each episode this season includes a poem from this book.

The text of these readings is posted the day after the release of each episode at www.itookarighturn.com All of Robert’s more than forty books are available in paperback and kindle through Amazon. We also invite everyone to visit our online art store, The Pair a Docs Shop where we offer our original paintings, prints and merchandise.

We should spend more time revealing the truth than worrying about what’s false.
