Opus 2024-355 Dark Thoughts: Leading the Blind

I was sitting in the dark enjoying the morning, and suddenly there was this noise.  I couldn’t figure it out.  Was someone sneaking up on me?  Was there an animal trapped in my attic.  It kept knocking and making this sound, and kept moving around.  I turned on my flashlight and couldn’t find anything.  I sat down in the dark again and kept hearing the sound.

Finally, I was determined to figure out what it was.  It turned out to be a giant mouth as big as my thumb, I exaggerate not.  And I have a big thumb, trust me.  It seem to be wanting to knock against the roof in the corner of the eve of the roof.  It was totally disoriented.  Eventually I decided that I would take the broom, wave it like a magic wand and help it to escape from the porch and get out into the open air.  I turned on my flashlight and fixed it on the moth, thinking that it might be drawn toward the light itself.  That didn’t happen.  Instead when I targeted the beam on the ceiling, the moth was drawn toward the light on the panels, and so I gradually led it out and to the point where it was able to fly out into the open air and embrace its freedom.

I may not be Harriet Tubman but I certainly hope this month find its way into the freedom of the open sky.  A job well done.  Thank you.  I couldn’t have done it without you.
