This past weekend I have had the great opportunity to spend time with Sarah’s family. I mean the whole family. 11 people. Geesh. Anyway, some came from miami some from california and georgia. They came to see a graduation of Sarah’s brother. I never liked graduations…not even my own. Its boring. Yeah its a great time to get together and walk across a stage that has really no significance at all, it just goes right back stuffed somewhere in a closet and the decorations get shoved back into a box and placed inside a room of storage on the campus of West Orange. There is no power in that stage, or even that microphone. The hat, the gown, the tassel they all fade in color and get eaten by moths. They are destroyed by the conditions of this world. And the speeches! Some good some bad. One thing in common. Long. Its not that I don’t care to listen or to try and let it penetrate my skull, but I see some of them as a show. How can I impress my listeners and show how smart I am. Well at least to me that is how it seems. Yeah yeah, jealously…maybe. But there are many good things that happen on that day. It was a good day. Sometimes I make sense, sometimes I don’t.
