When I was a child, I thought priests had a certain mystique,
a kind of holy aura about them.
How shocked I was when I grew older and read about
priests molesting children.
How outraged I was when I read about the Catholic Church
covering up those molestations.
How saddened I was for the good priests under clouds of suspicion,
people thinking they could be pedophiles too.
It was so unthinkable some priests with that certain mystique
could ever lose their holy auras and molest children.

Age 80. Cancer survivor since 3 years ago. Work out 3 times a week. Ride my exercise bike 2 hours a day. Live a solo reclusive life. Retired a year ago from working with the elderly in a nonprofit. Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
