I realize I've shared several of Anderson's quotes in the past;
(crypto means hidden...I didn't know that.)
His way of mixing metaphors
between earth and human appeals to me.
Try changing the first three sentences to present tense.
Does it make a difference?
I'm asking myself what love and knowledge I'm
setting in motion...trying to be more cognizant of this.
Saturday, at the No Kings rally, some folks drove by
and made unfriendly gestures. I felt myself getting riled up.
A young boy in front of me called "we love you" in response.
I was struck by how quickly my internal weather changed.
It was like the sun came out after a cold, dreary day.
Then a man behind me began doing so in a strong voice
and magnified the sense of good will.
A woman walked by on the other side of the street
and claimed, "he's my king".
We called back, "we love you anyway".
It was all a welcome lesson for my ripening soul.
The word love may be overused
yet it still carries power.
Namaste'
