A Time to Vote

. . . with apologies to John Grisham.
________________

I try to imagine…that we are all equal
in the eyes of the politics.

That’s not the truth.

The eyes of the politics are human eyes…

…yours and mine, and until we
can see each other as equals…

…electoral politcis is never
going to be evenhanded.

It will only be a reflection
of our own prejudices.

So until that day…

…we have a duty under
God to seek the truth…

…not with our minds…

…where fear and hate turn
commonality into prejudice…

…but with our hearts…

…but we don’t know better.

I want to tell you a story.

Please close your eyes…

…while I tell it.
