It's only Friday

and we're in Indiana
Indianapolis
There's something to say for highway driving
miles of concrete/asphalt/road
trees, rivers, lakes, ponds, electrical wire
and more road

and we're in Indiana
Indianapolis

People are 'talking' to us via our contact email addresses
Dialogue has started
There's some fear to write for the world to see
To share rejection, hope, and belief systems
Does this sound vague?

I listened to an 18-year old young man articulate his belief system without
hatred
malice
wanting to the depth of his being for someone to live what they believed
for the good of us all
he's an atheist
and I thought about the adults in his life
the adults in my life
speaking
but not living
whatever we believe
Does this sound vague?

Does anyone remember James Byrd Jr.?
Thursday was the 9th anniversary of his murder
on a dirt road in Jasper County TX
I read about it in the top corner of the inner page of USA Today
is there outrage?

It was a reminder to me
that I was looking for God in this country
Looking for God in America
