white cross

Saturday, March 29

It was a fun night, with the reminiscing of childhood dreams via movies and the laughing and the long-time-no-see old friend in town.

But driving home, it was thinking about praying at a white cross that came upon me. The cross that represents everything. And you were out with brunettes and redheads, and I was flying along the pavement, wet with the rain, thinking of things that are more symbolic than real.

The wind against my face is a reminder that I am alive. And no one is here to smile with that Thich Nhat Hanh sincerity that transcends culture and boundaries and blows all affect to the ground.

I notice these things. And blameless. Translucent. I saw these things on the cross. The white cross of purity and wholeness. It is beyond and within.
