Usually, I like to close my eyes during each morning mass as a form of meditation and sometimes due to be not being quite awake from sleeping late at night. For the most part, my hearing is bad and to calm my impatient nerves for the completion of the mass, I have to close my eyes to drown out the thick accents. I really don’t care about love, light and hope. It’s all the same. Let get a move on to real things in life!
When I saw snippets of Joe Biden closing his eyes during Obama’s speech on Tuesday, I know the feeling: It’s just like sitting with the congregation (or assembly) and listening to the orator finish his “sound bites” of possibilities. That’s right! Obama is coming across as a preacher providing reminders of what salvation would be like if people unite under one ideal — God worship.
I could just close my eyes and hear the same thing and expect the same thing — no results. It’s like prayers NOT being answered by the divine.
