how about that road to Damascus?

[somedaybitch]

expressing faith in another human being is a simple thing and yet frequently overlooked. the power of words like "i understand" have a resonance and weight far beyond their practical expression. when that faith is lost for whatever reason, the blow to one's sense of self can feel insurmountable. the journey back is one often taken in steps of infinitessimal measure.

if you have found yourself on one side of that faith or the other, stop and think about why. stop and think about the other person involved. stop and recall that the other person involved is a thinking, feeling human being. and if you find yourself heading towards Damascus, try and avoid the main road. the lightening strikes are a bitch.

on a rocky promontory of thought, a figure sits gazing into the setting sun. another climbs up and as he extends a bottle of liquid refreshment to her, he says:

"funny old thing, life."

she takes a long pull from the bottle and nods in thanks. they sit in companionable silence admiring the view.
