How do you teach a child to eat when all their life they were only told how to hold a fork and spoon in a quiet sheltered room before the served platter was brought in? How do you tell platitudes from placates in the political dehiscence on platforms embracing only incomplete truths? How can a noble heart function while being fed only untruths bold in fatty line or euphemisms by cowards sow-like rung with a tremulous treble? How is this impossibility made possible? And, yet. It is seen every day. Read about it in the mainstream ode to realistic horror. Worse, the malady perceived is growing worse. Oh, her mind travelled along so many defunct places when left naked and awaiting the results. Doctor Severance says you can get dressed now. The samples will be sent out and we will call you within the week for the results. The results? Ok, thanks she acknowledged numbly hearing the uncaring verbatim provided by the gum chewing office assistant who had all right handed fingers burrowed in her scrub jacket fingering her need to be away from this moment and back to her plans for a fun Friday night. Stumbling out of the cool doctors office into the blinding glare of a hating desert god, Bethany realized he was a comedian. So, in the harsh heat of the overpaid parking lot, she cut loose ... laughed and laughed until her sides hurt, then, she sank to her knees and cried alone. Then, unmindful of the heat or the harsh burn of the asphalt upon her bent open knees, she prayed like she was a child again. But, this time it was for them. All those cold uncaring souls waiting in need, hating from those dark minutes. This was always for them. In that moment under the sun dealing with death and mortality, a harsh desiccated reality, she found another deeper positivity pointing to a more profound truth. The rest fell away. She was truly free.
