Traveling
Left for road trip
Wheeling to Florida
with stops in North Carolina and South Carolina
The hills of West Virginia quickly mature into mountains.
Mountains seem to know that one needs the
deep comfort of being held in arms.
Was it just yesterday that I was held in the arms of
my mother while I suckled at her breasts?
While driving, National Public Radio gives way to
so-called conservative talk radio.
I learn that I must be one of those “liberals” who
is deceitful, dangerous, sneaky, hypocritical, and supportive of
terrorist organizations.
Who knew that the Southern Poverty Law Center was so
spiritually challenged and out to destroy the rights of others?
Who knew that there was such a conspiracy by the left to end free
speech?
The so-called left demonizes the right which demonizes the left.
If only one would listen to Jesus one would know that family
values will ensure eternal life.
I know, of course that family values does not include me and
many other sinners, unrepentant that we are.
All the while the mountains hold me close and gently sing:
“Lillaby, and good night, in the skies stars are bright.
May the moon’s silvery beams bring you sweet dreams.
Close our eyes now and rest, may these hours be blessed.
‘Til the sky’s bright with dawn, when you wake with a yawn.”
(first verse, Brahms Lullaby)
