Victor Vital: I Am Barnes & Thornburg

I AM...

• A black man who loves his wife, children, grandchild, family, and himself
• A seeker of mastery of self and life
• A meditator
• A poet – composing and consuming poetry
• A “conspiracy theorist” who looks beyond the surface of things and events – what is most visible is often never what’s most important
• A bibliophile, especially loving books about history, religion, self-mastery, law, mystery, military, spy novels, biographies, and Sherlock Holmes
• A fan of jazz, old-school R&B, neo-soul and funk music
• A questionable but joyful golfer
• An avid movie-goer – lover of action thrillers, psych and suspense thrillers, and comedy movies
• A trial lawyer who one day will lay down his sword and shield, down by the riverside, and ain’t gonna study war no more after that. Yes, I love Negro Spirituals, and I will not fight beyond my prime.
