I'm Marty Luster, a retired attorney and politician. In 2010 my wife, mother-in-law, dog and I relocated from Central NY to Gloucester. I hope my photographs and poetry(?) reflect my love for this place and her people.

Stepping Stones
Translated by Brother Anthony and Susan Hwang
Water flows as it should
ice freezes as it should
but I cannot live as I should
and lie flat, turned into stepping stones.
Today again the water is cold, the current fast.
Please, don’t fall into the water
but stamp on me and cross over vigorously.
How many more times will we be able
to cross the blue stream’s stepping stones?
Sometimes stepping stones turn into water and flow away.
Stepping stones turned into water flow far away
and there are times when they can never be seen again
no matter how much we want to see them.
* * *
We serve others as stepping stones so that they can advance safely in life; others serve us in the same way, before passing on out of this life, since we all are mortal.
