The Parade

This online parade of personalities is an awesome place to see, learn, try. One size fits all: we are one dimensional, body-less voices and thoughts that exist through photos in a stranger’s album. We wade through the words to gather meaning and depth, to make connections and seek relief.

The salesmen are here, the comedians and the looky-loos; the intellectuals, the Christians, and those that are false. There are moments of sweetness that make our teeth ache and hazards we learn to avoid. It is a playground in which to stretch and run and imagine does not require a body or a tether. Here, we are healthy and whole. New faces, new needs, new rules.

With great fanfare and a brassy show of color, the parade sweeps down the street and around the bend. Good friends are coming: lovers and seekers of truth, people of incredible warmth and insight, they are all here. They are everywhere we seek them.

And for that, I march on.
