During this morning’s mass and at 7:55am, my mind drifted again. In this state, I imagined a town of mansions funded by the government. Each dwelling was big enough to house two families. The town is deep in a mountainous region and full of lush vegetation. Of course, each person in this town is known by the first name. And everyone knew each other. There was no hiding any secrets either. No one had reason to leave.
I saw one person overseeing everything, like a mayor with governorship power. In my “right field of vision”, he went indoors to a dwelling and inquired to the location of a missing child. Then I recalled the phrase coined during the GWB administration and in Obama’s speech today: “Leave no child behind” deal; and a Biblical passage of “leaving all 99 sheep to look for a missing one”.
*Off topic thought*:And y’all wonder why children are still being bought and sold for pleasure.
