Sadness clings like dust particles and makes us feel there is no other way to feel. What makes us sad? Is there something tangible that we can deal with? Or is it just everything-and nothing in particular?
This week Noretta Livesay, my friend at the Haskell County Historical Society, mailed me a clipping from the Daily Oklahoman dated October 29, 1942. The headline read Stigler Man Will Get Son’s Medal. The article wrote of the uncommon valor shown by W.D. Hargis, Jr. during the pivotal Battle of Midway fought June 4-7, 1942. Such uncommon courage as to be awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the second highest military honor our nation bestows behind only the Congressional Medal of Honor.
Circumstances can shake our plans off track and we have to make adjustments. Later, we may realize the adjustment was the best thing that could have happened.
When we are told to face reality, it is assumed that someone knows what reality is. Is it something to be seen or touched? More reality exists on the invisible than all we see put together.
