thought of my day

if we put half as much of the

excitement

and effort

and money

and time

and observation

regina devotes to the rough riders

into making sure

our community

is fed

and warm

and loved

and safe

and cared for

we could do something really magical.

(not that it is wrong for a community

to come together under something that unites us all)

maybe i am just over-the-top-frustrated

with the ridiculous "rider versions" of radio hits.

please no more.

maybe im particularly irritated

because i was listening to "scores and highlights"

as i watched a very sweet, albeit, cold homeless man

trucking across the road.

my heart broke.

sometimes

i think we put value on the wrong things.
