I Remember Standing Alone


For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD,
And He ponders all his paths. Proverbs 5:21

by Chuck Ness

Many times in my life I have been standing alone.

Like in the picture above, I remember standing alone at the edge of the Grand Canyon when I was hitchhiking through Arizona. Wondering which way I would travel.

I remember standing alone, looking down at the grave of a dear sweet girl who had my heart when I was but 16, in Duluth MN. Would she still be alive if I had not gotten off the bus a block early? I also remember wondering, if she then would be looking down at my grave.

I remember standing alone inside the tent that housed the game where I was a carnival barker for the Thomas shows, after the Carnival closed down for the night in Oklahoma City. It was my first time on acid and I was all alone, wondering why the sides of the tent were moving in on me.
