Impressions:

  • Birth 
  • Childhood
  • The cruelty of life interrupting the innocence of childhood
  • Three brothers and their family
  • Idyllic 1950s Waco, Texas
  • The sacred and emotional
  • Amplified by the death of the middle brother
  • A young boy emerging in the world
  • Coming to grips with the cruelty of the world
  • Choosing how to respond to life
  • The Way of Nature, his father, or The Way Of Grace, his mother.
