At the Trumpet Call when We're all Unsaved

I am one of those people who other people love to tell their problems/secrets/gossip to. I am not 100% sure why. I guess, to some degree, folks value my advice and opinion. To a greater degree, I think it is because people generally think I am weirder than them and, therefore, won’t pass judgment.

After all, my cubicle is nicely decorated with a Polish-Catholic Renaissance art calendar, a dancing Ganesh, a few dreidels, a planet hours chart, and, to represent the undead (just in case the afterlife, re-incarnation, etc. don’t work out) a fake IV bag filled with candy blood.

Come one, come all to my cubicle -- the no judgment zone. The door is always open.

Exhibit A: a "Black Friday" missive between a vendor and myself (apparently the only two people working today)...

My life is a continual mesh of bizarre events that all seem to merge at the same time.

One either looks to find meaning in it all or just blows if all off.

An offshoot of the blowing it off choice -- just become ever-increasingly eccentric and simply “become one with the bizarreness.”

Great advice.

I was once eccentric…(I’ll have to tell you)…!!!
