Today, I did not eat the Black Angus mega-burger, with cheese.
Today, I lost my remote control(s)...on purpose.
Today, I talked with my next-door neighbor for 22 consecutive minutes.
Today, I told my radio to "SHUT UP!"
Today, I remembered what my grandmother taught me.
Today, I went up to the roof.
Today, I played the sweet song of silence.
Today, I shook hands on the sidewalk. No tracts. No signs.
Today, I listened far more than I spoke.
Today, I did not sip the five-dollar Hooka-Chaka-Hooka-Chaka-Supreme-Grande-Latte.
Today, naptime was interrupted by a dream.
Today, I peeled away the coating of the prevailing culture from my limbs...from my teeth...from my tongue...from my eyes.
Just so I could tell You about it.
It was hard.

how true it is that we get lost in and caught up in our culture and all the things that we think we should be and have or at least what society thinks we should be and what we should have. I like the silence I like remembering with my grandmother told me too.it is hard stripping down our lives to see whom we have become.
