A 40 Year "Retrospective Journey"


“Be good, keep your feet dry,
your eyes open, your heart at peace
and your soul in the joy of Christ.”

Poor Wayfaring Stranger

A fitting finale for Thomas, from a friend, Joan Baez...


I am a poor wayfaring stranger,
wandering through this world of woe,
and there’s no sickness,
no toil or danger
in that bright land to which I go.
I’m going there to meet my mother,
she said she’d meet me when I come.
I’m only going over Jordan,
I’m only going over home.
