Robert Fulghum Journal Entries
My recent travels, musings, insights shared with you most weeks. Journal entries are uploaded for a limited time.
What Child Is This
This child is 6 months old. The essence of innocence. He cannot read or write or sing or walk or dance – not yet. As you can see, he doesn’t have teeth or much hair. If you asked him his name, he would not know – or even understand the question.

Saint Mary, The Buddhist
A man is waiting at the counter at the local post office for the clerk to bring him a package. A girl is standing nearby, staring at him. A round, brown-skinned face – black hair in long braids. In southeast Utah, she could be Navajo, Hopi, Apache, Mexican, Spanish – or an inter-marriage mix of any of those ethnic communities.
