I read this post election, at the starting line befuddled, raging, and seeking a center. Then, in a great announcement from the horizon, hundreds of Canada geese were honk-singing their way to a new location. I got teary-eyed. Strangely, it gave me hope. Then I got swaddled in theRat Club, more hope, and decided, on my own, that I was a member.
I sadly fear that our nation, having become hangry and seeking more tastes of past glucose has chosen to descend into its own Rat Club to seek those tastes at Ratty Restaurant wherein we will need to learn the new rules beyond those disallowing babies, rules allowing the ravaging of all kinds of stores and resources in the service of finding that old sweet taste of unlimited sugar and thereby restoring our diminished sense of agency and power over all the others "out there." : >(
There is a spoon at the secret entry, and more blankets to add.
Love this piece. It reminded me of my own childhood, and my children's. Sure the china might get chipped and the popcorn is all over the floor, but aren't those some of the best moments? Engage the wonder. Breath in the awe. It's all around us.
