What if your final adventure was your most extraordinary?
Meet The Swimmer, an unlikely hero who is eighty years old, who leaves his island home with nothing but a Speedo, goggles, and a forgotten vow. Swimming oceans and slipping through therapy tubs, he searches for the truth buried in his past. But this is no ordinary quest. Each unique combination of his prescribed medications unlocks strange, unpredictable powers- if only he could figure out which mix does what.
At 3 years old, my first grand daughter was sophisticated, affable, and articulate or so she thought. Her vocabulary included words like Lasterday, Nexterday, and Inaminnit to communicate her concepts of time. Granted, these concepts were born, in part, from her perceptions of her fathers procrastinations.
Lasterday is a work of love-a playful, heartfelt attempt to share with my grandchildren the freedom, joy, and wonder of a cherished past. Like the cold, clear mountain streams of my youth, those moments have flowed beyond my reach, living now only in memory.
"A purpose for Life?
Search the sole came the reply
Yet through countless time of counting
From my childhood mounting
The answer is not found in the tarsals
Still, go i again,
Counting backward a ten
And finding there
A bit of hair
And lint from old grey argyles."
