You know I was sitting at the bar here in my mind and thinking about a time when events took me to a place other than the wet cement city streets that crushed us daily,. Of all things, It was the
space program that did this for a brief but wonderful time. Us creatures of the night and the street would gather round a small black n white tv in our grey cold factory and watch each launch off that pad like it was us escaping our miserable lives for a place the sun never set.
Nations working together. People being all they can be. Striving to be be more than human. Against all the odds they would defy gravity and the mundane minutiae, to a view of the blue, All humanity held there breath as they looked up in awe.
And then it happened. It just, blew up. . The teacher we fell in love with and all our other heroes,
gone.. I cried. Hadn't done that since Kennedy.
Poor and rich alike.. We all held hands in grief. All shocked into the reality of the value of each and every second.
What we feel in that second, and do with what we feel. It was a turning point in me.
An awakening. I stopped feeling the cold and the dark . In spite of the poverty, and disfigurements I started to think like a rich person. Richer for the gift of a rebirth.. that hope was even possible. I don't question a whole lot anymore. To question some things, may be to test the fragility in them, and in us.
