DO I DARE?

In the beginning, the elohim created skies and earth.

Welcome back. Let’s think about the faces that we meet.

I go to the YMCA every morning to lift weights when I can. Yesterday, I talked to a man I had written about before. He’s a nice guy, retired Navy, from a small town in North Carolina.

We were talking about education. He mentioned that he worked with the local public school system in a school for excellence program sponsored by his mega-rich company. In fact, he was the contact the person at the school where I work now.

That was all well and good, but then he said that he stopped because of the disruptive kids.

And then he said, “You know where it all started going wrong, don’t you?”  I had my own ideas so I did not answer. “It’s when the government got involved.”

Do I dare?  Do I dare disturb the universe?

Well, I dared. I told him I disagreed with him, and then I wound into a historical argument that follows like meandering streets.

I was very cordial as always. So was he. However, sometimes, I just cannot let things go without saying something.

Blessings…
