Other Voices

The other voices I've been listening to these past weeks belong to commercial fishermen, deckhands, property owners and small business owners whose lives have been turned inside out by the Deepwater BP Oil disaster. Hard to wax romantic.

So, when I received this anonymous e-mail comment regarding my blog, I was amused inspite of the writer's apparent sarcasm. And, for a brief moment I stopped thinking about the inadequacy and ineptitude of the response to oil gushing into the Gulf.

(Thanks, Anonymous. I must admit I've never had so many other voices conversing at one time in my head. )

But then Victor Hugo asked, "Ou est ma chapeau?" Tillich responded, "What child of six has not asked himself the question 'where do I fit in to the totality of cosmic reality?'" To which Kris Kristofferson asked "Why me Lord?" To which I respond "Twas brillig in the slithey toves and Jesus loves me this I know." To which someone said "Silly rabbit!"
