"There Will Always Be the Touchstones"

       “There Will Always Be the Touchstones”

 “There will always be the touchstones in our lives today, memories and those they connect us to along this eternal way  ---  thoughts that sometimes rush in on us out of the blue and thoughts that sometimes slowly focus themselves into the center of our conscious minds like the bir-r-r-thing process of the mid-day sun and then those memory-thoughts that collect in such subtle ways along the edges of our conscious awareness that, sometimes, they seem like they have always been there and always ever will be  - - -   memories of those we love, love, the only true reality; memories we taste, memories we feel, memories we smell, voice-memories we hear, vision-memories we still see - - - memories that God experiences as each one of us  ---  love-memories that cause us to know who we really are  - - - love-memories that give birth to the touchstones that form our outer beings at the behest of our inner beings - - -  There will always be the touchstones.”

Thomas M. Scott, Th. D.                             June 20, 1998
