I am not really sure where to start…or what to write…I hate these minutes before something happens, when somehow my thoughts come together and form these sentences.  It strikes me though that for the most part these words are not read by many…and while ultimately and for the most part intended for you (my children, wife and family) by the time you get to reading them they may have all kinds of new meanings I never intended or dreamed…or perhaps none at all. Do you hear my nervous laughter at that irony?…ha ha ha.  Still, grant me the freedom and acceptance to express the matter at hand in the best way that I can…and that these words are intended to convey the full power of my conviction, emotion and understanding…even if it was not always evident with me in real time.  I will admit now that what is written here may not always make sense or seem to have much depth of purpose…and I make no apologies for that. It’s who I am at those particular instances that words formed and fell to the page…and like the freckles and blemishes on our skin…come together with everything else to complete the picture of me.  Which, I hope, will remain a work in progress for some time, lol.

About Lawrence Lewis

I do a number of things professionally...but most of all and the true purpose of what I do through "my work" is to provide for my family, be a good husband and great father, and try to make a difference as a world citizen...I guess it's not much more complicated than that 🙂
