HE>i

Over the last thirteen months, I have traveled to Clarkston, Washington more than 25 times. Writers have many ways of focusing and the Cowsbell’s God. Above All website has taken me through much focusing and refocusing. Honestly, when I started working on this site almost two years ago, the intent was much different and the current site is the seventh to occupy the cowsbell.com domain address! The content has changed dramatically from my first which I published in the Fall of 2025 but I am much more satisfied with this ‘final’ version than some of the earlier efforts. Seems as though several of those first six were more about what I know or thought I knew than was worthwhile to me or God.

Earlier in March, 2026 on the return leg of an overnighter to Clarkston, a passing car just north of Worley, Idaho caught my attention. High and center on the rear window was a sticker I had seen before but never thought about. I come from Montana were vanity license plates with cryptic anagrams and bumper stickers abound. As the passing car grew smaller in the distance, I thought of the sticker “HE>i” and worked through all the possibilities of meaning before I had that old man “Aha” moment. The car was long gone before I mentioned the sticker to my wife who went right to the internet to see if I was right in my interpretation.
