The Miracle of Life?

We all look at life as a miracle. But it's a miracle compared to what? Everything we experience in life is a part of the "miracle" of life, so where is the comparator that makes us look at life as a miracle? Considering this, it can easily be said that there is nothing so fantastic as to compare to our own existence. ~ Trabue Gentry

My Great Uncle Walter

Among the many things I inherited, one stands out: my extreme emotions. My great uncle Walter was exactly like me. He suffered from, what they called back then, melancholy. He was so emotional he could barely stand living. He wrote incredibly romantic poetry constantly in an attempt to purge his emotions and every line was a flowery lament. He loved all people and cared what happened to them. He worried about poverty, sadness and pain. He was incurably romantic and loved women, all women and was deeply depressed over this. Eventually, when he was in his 30’s he became so melancholy that he committed suicide sighting that he couldn't stand to “feel” any longer. Side note: When I was in my 30's a psychologist suggested that I get the boo "Women Who Feel Too Much" and exchange the word women for men. ~ Trabue Gentry

Kevin Sterner, my former songwriting partner. Taken in our hotel room in Nashville, Tennessee the day Pete Drake agreed to produce us. Actually, our partnership was more like Lennon and McCartney in that we never wrote a single song together. We were more collaborators and singing partners for each other’s individual songs. However, in 2007, 30 years after we broke up, we reunited and actually wrote four songs together. The four songs we did write together were better than anything that we ever did individually. They have not been published and only a few close friends and family have heard them. I was very pleased w the lighting of this picture. Kevin was seated next to a window which allowed me the luxury of natural light. No artificial lighting was used. Note that the corner of the room, about three feet behind him, is the dividing line of shadow and light in the background which is in perfect contrast to the dark and light side of Kevin’s head. ~ Trabue Gentry Photography by Trabue Gentry, 1978
