Don’t Take the Girl
Of late I have begun the examination of life. Life changes. Nothing stays the same. People come and people go, voluntarily or otherwise. If it’s voluntary, you cope, if involuntary you catch religion. Time waits for no man, but if you’ve ever waited in your car while your wife is shopping you know that it will wait for a woman.
Relationships change. What was exciting the first time becomes routine. Surprisingly, someone who was window dressing is suddenly realized to have been a cornerstone after they are gone.
Society shifts views and acceptance or rejections of situations or positions. While gladiators were the thing in Ancient Rome bullfighting is taking a downturn in the twenty-first century. While the flamboyant uncle was laughed at before, they become the transgender politician who can be governor now.
Universal acceptance is a myth. Everything does not “taste like chicken,” in fact KFC is now suspected as not being chicken at all. The old order changith is the only thing that remains constancy. Bing Crosby became the Beatles which became Taylor Swift and her political views became more important than her music.
And everyone waits for the end of time except the teen couple discovering each other for the first time beneath the bleachers of a football field in Dover Tennessee. Jesus told us that the Kingdom of God is within us. He did not say we were God, only that we can experience it if we only be quiet and allow it. And for all of our reflection and theory a single comet can reset the entire thing in a moment of time, and in a billion years some other species will be exactly where we are now, considering exactly the same thing, only different bleachers.
