His
cough is nagging and persistent,
and
you just know the homeless man
is
living on borrowed time. The young
woman
sitting next to you is smart and
attractive,
and you figure her attributes
could
very well afford her a promising
future.
The minister on the other side
has
devoted his life to a calling hopeful
for
the Kingdom of Heaven to come.
Little
does he know, but a child on the
teeter-totter
is practicing for the ride
of
his life. Ups and downs are in the
cards
for everyone. Yee-haw, ride ‘em,
Cowboy!
The squirrel couldn’t care less
about
its future. He grabs warily at the
peanut
offered to him. It is wise for us
as
well to recognize certain innate instincts.
It’s
so damn convenient these days to forget
about
from where we came. A few hours
sitting
on a park bench in the middle of the
city
can reveal the anthropology of our history.
Open
your eyes and see. You needn’t unearth
bones
below the surface to know…Yes, like it or
not,
this mishmash of humanity includes you too.
