You Cant Be Too Strong They tell me I need to make a fearless moral inventory and seek forgiveness. Well, There are some sleeping dogs in dark corners I dont want to or have to kick. There are some movies that come back on their own, nite after nite, a running dialog with myself and whatever Gods are still listening. There are some things I dont want forgiven, wanting the sharp edge of their memory cutting me, shaping me, forging me over the coals. The basement in Pittsburgh, huddled in filth, hiding from The War... The beach in California where I died. His body on the road. Her face when I told her. Saying goodbye to Martina, laying in a bed in the back of a truck. The abuse heaped upon the ones I loved and myself. The selfishness, the cowardice, the weakness, the stubborness. The turning away, the lost years, the rivers crossed at nite in the darkness... Maybe someday I will find that there really is A God that forgives... For now, its up to me to have the courage to leave behind the failures and move on with strength. You cant be Too strong... -Hank Beukema - 2008
