In empty spots I
planted sunflowers
their faces will bring
vigor to vegetables
birds to their bugs
grins to our guests

About Me
- James Pannabecker
- When I look back thirty years I wonder how I got here. I did not expect my future, I did not plan it. I knew the dreams I had were fiction, opera singer, professional basketball player, orchestra conductor, Supreme Court justice, father of six or seven. My short-term goals were something less, chosen just before each gentle turn I charged with focus down the line. Then something happened, I shifted right, then left, then right again, and I landed exactly where I wish I had dreamed I would be today.
