Crossing The Creek

By Carl Smith

"Sleep did not come easily for Irene. There was no story in her head that could make sense of this."

Robert Frost wrote about two roads diverging in the woods, and after much thought he chose the road less traveled. He shared that when he looked back on his life, that choice made all the difference. Yogi Berra, in a lighter vein, advised if you come to a fork in the road take it. Just simply pick one.

This account of Paul and Pauline's life is about their crossroads... their life-choices. Some decisions, like getting married and having children were thought out and planned. While other paths taken were influenced by Pauline's other voices. Voices that could not be silenced. The other Pauline that led them down darkened roadways that would cause their families and the little farm town where Paul grew up to turn against him. A side road that would lead to handcuffs and murder charges.

Each crossing of the creek... each crossroads... each bend in the road... took their journey down seldom traveled pathways to an end they could have never foreseen.
