A
Certain Place in Time
One
day you awaken and consider where you
would
be without the automobile or last night’s
dream
which brought you here? It’s easy to end
a
sentence of such thought with a question mark.
You
do it without the answers several times
a
day, millions of times in a lifetime of question-
ing.
Where indeed would you be without the
zipper
on your jeans, without tube socks to
slip
on your feet? Turns out you where born
at
just the right time in history. No, all the wars
have
not yet been fought, and you have no need
to
arm yourself, at least not today. I have often
thought
about gas furnaces and electricity which
courses
through neighborhoods which surround
me.
There are folks who live with limited possibilities,
you
know, those who awaken on a desert islands with
little
or no connectivity, who have their own questions
in
mind. Some even begin their day with a stroll into
the
Forest of Mystery searching for two twigs of a
certain
kind to rub together. A fire? Yes, of course…
sometimes.
