That lovely summer afternoon when the ladybug landed on for a ride ....
found myself whispering "lady bug, lady bug, fly away home, your house is on fire, your children are gone..." -- kind of brutal huh? One of the chants from childhood that infected our culture - origin unknown..
If you have ever experienced a 'thug' in the town.. as I have .. who says to your face or behind your back or on a public platform " you don't belong in this community " remember this: you do belong. . . this is your home .. you have a right to enjoy life here ... and civil discourse still matters.
And if you speak of the blessed "community" you'd be best to remember that everyone here make up the townsfolk, not just a handful of mouthy noise makers, and they have all the same rights that you do. Respect is earned; not given.
Rise above the chatter... and the gossipy ninnies..... /\
