Uncle Arch
Uncle Arch was gassed in World War I.
And he would fall asleep
in strange places.
If he wasn’t actively involved in what was going on.
Uncle Arch would fall asleep.
They said it was the gas
that made him do it.
The gas that filled the trenches…
Maybe he slept because he was just so relaxed
because
he
didn’t have to worry about
anybody
shooting
him.

I'm a retired Episcopal priest in the Diocese of Tennessee. My wife, Kathy, and I live on the Cumberland River, just north of Nashville. We have three children and eight grandchildren. I like to fish, make things out of wood, sing and play music (mandolin, uke, experimenting with a dobro), play chess (fair), read, play golf. I like to find out who people are and what they think. I am a follower of the Jesus Way, and I'm trying to love the Lord and love my neighbor.
