ABOUT THE AUTHOR
- Dale McGlothlin
- Hello! I'm the author of this blog and the book, Great Big Small Things. I was born and raised in the small town of Richlands, Virginia, where my mother and father still live. I played football at Emory and Henry College and met Coach Fred Selfe there. He was strong, fair, courteous, caring, and demanding. He asked for excellence from each of his players and students. He gave us every tool and reason to reach the state of excellence. He led by example. The more I see of the world--how it works and doesn't work, public policy, corporate, religion, life--the more I long for the simple, rock solid values Coach Selfe taught those who witnessed the way he lived his life--courage, character, principles, and always serving others.

Featuring one day of service to others, and one day of politcal, business, pro and college sports figures, and religious leaders discussing their take on Fred Selfe's principles of servant leadership. More info. coming soon! If you think it's a good idea please email and let me know.

That's the saddest thing I've ever seen.
I agree with Wynne. It's beautiful, but so, so sad.
is it for sale?
I'm a little late to this conversation, but after reading the Rumi post and seeing this painting--If this grief is about a woman, she must be SOME woman. That's a lot of sadness, Mr. Mcglothin.
Honey, don't let anyone tell you how to feel or how much to feel. I've enjoyed reading this blog for over a year now and missed it while you were silent. Just because you feel too much is no reason to dial it back. Feeling is a gift. If you were in love with someone and she wasn't in love with you...her loss. You gained from it.
Did you tell her how much you cared for her? If so, and it was unrequieted, that's all you can do. You expressed your love. it was a gift for you and for her.
Grief is normal. Grief is good. It opens your mind and heart to all the pain in the world. Now you remember and now you know how others around you and across the world are feeling. You can empathize with them. You can care about them. You can pray for them becuase you know how they feel.
You are something special in this cold, material, shallow world. As you sign your books, Be Fred Selfe! Keep feeling and caring and loving and doing good. We need you.
Get over it! Get back to good, positive stories.
Love this . . . hauntingly beautiful like your writing.
