What Now!

The summer of 1968 I had gone to Washington State to work in the pea factories, but ended up driving big trucks. My first job was for a wheat farmer who had a bunkhouse. Breakfast was at 4:30am with the whole family and table talk about the crops and farm machinery, which always lead to discussions about life. My dad traveled, so growing up we didn’t have a family breakfast, which made this family experience special. Each morning life would somehow be unraveled during the table talk and I’d go to work considering not just what next, but what now. Today, unravel a little of life and consider what now.
