Going experimental today. :-P It's longer than usual because phooey.
---
Look here & see Theodore Bartlett, a mid-level
pharmaceuticals rep & businessperson.
He is not in himself particularly interesting yet is brought to your
attention, here on the sidewalk as he walks to work to the subway station to
the city because Theodore Bartlett is about to experience a miracle.
The nature of the miracle will not be revealed; this would
spoil the suspense.
It might be a pillar of fire or a booming voice, but might
as easily be something else, something perhaps easily mistaken for happenstance
and/or coincidence and/or Al Qaeda. I
myself once had a miraculous pimple. It
was small/red/in all ways unremarkable, and it burst after a week and faded
thence from the memory of mankind, yet it was miraculous nonetheless, the hand
of God acting directly in all of our lives, and that knowledge has changed me
forever because, understanding as I do now and did not then the nature of the
miraculous and the implications &c I am able to see Theodore Bartlett and
show him unto thee that thou also might see and anticipate what it will be when
he finds/encounters/becomes the miraculous and how it might change everything
for him and me and all of us. Please do
not forget Theodore Bartlett as the doors hiss closed and separate the smell of
rat pee from body odor and whisk him to his job where he will find a miracle
and may or may not recognize it for what it is & keep him in your prayers
because his miracle might be only a jar of mustard that he thought was empty
having one more serving & he will never know, live and never know, die and
never know. Theodore Bartlett I wish you
well Godspeed sir be safe and mind the gap.
