Do you enjoy writing or reading poetry? Most of the posts on Big Sky Buckeye are filled with poetry, but I also share short stories, photography, and a few surprises along the way. You are invited to sit a spell and find something you like. I enjoy sharing my curiosity through my writing. You are welcome to like, comment, follow, share, or reblog a post.

The tabs at the top of this page offer quick access to my most recent posts and quotes. Additional tabs allow you to check out older posts dealing with the themes of Christian and general poetry, short stories, and other posts.

Big Sky Buckeye has been in motion since October, 2018. After retiring from teaching after 40 years, I was looking for a place to land. It has been a welcome blessing to meet other writers and readers.

My wife is also a gifted writer in her own right. She published her first book in July, 2025. With a theme of Christian family, BITS ‘N’ PIECES OF MY HEART, offers an outlet for her love of Jesus. The book is filled with short stories, poetry, and devotions for more mature readers. For younger children she shares energizing activities and fun songs. Her book is available on most online bookstore sites.

Edward Hallowell Quote

Posted on September 13, 2026 by bigskybuckeye

When we forgive, the slave we free is ourselves.

From Mark 11:25: “Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.”

Edward Hallowell (born 1949) is an American psychiatrist, speaker, and author.

Craving Experience

Empowerment’s readiness
Opening one more door
Flavoring each outcome
Opportunity explores

Brainstorming’s invitation
Embracing new content
Craving experience
Vision allowed to ferment

Designated improvements
Surveying future needs
Climbing today’s ladder
Each study’s answers exceed

Another weekend arrives
Rising with extra time
Healing breathes from each zone
Another memory rhymes

Life dances through one more scene
Shaping legacy’s place
Reading yesterday’s script
Time to utilize “backspace”

From Big Sky Buckeye

The human experience is much more fulfilling when we allow ourselves to dream and step out from our comfort zone.

Do you write a daily journal? This inspiring thought comes from my journal, and much of what is written in my journal comes from reading and commenting on other bloggers’ posts. Thanks to many of you for adding so much to my journal.
