it has been so nice and sunny these last few days here in michigan. so, feeling free to walk the earth with unprotected feet and skin i venture out the door with little zander in the front carrier. we start walking the sidewalks of my neighborhood. he is kicking at my balls as i meander through the blue skies and clicking sprayers on lawns. we round a corner and hear a little dog barking in protest at our imminent arrival. when down the street a little girl chugs on her bicycle towards us. she stops short of our progress up the sidewalk to pet the yelping dog behind the fence. we near her and she picks her bike up from the sidewalk so we could pass, i presumed. with her long brown hair pulled back in a ponytail she smiles at the two of us and mounts her bike.
she looks at me in the face and says "we just came from the park.." and i dart my eyes up the street to see if there were in fact anyone else coming...and sure enough two more girls were messing around in the distance, she continued, "...but we left.".
she was calm and easy going, like she knew me presonally. it was almost like she road her bike down her to tell good ol' Uncle Shane about their day in the park.
and i said "oh good, nice out here huh?" and she nodded and finished mounting her bike and was ready to ride off again.
almost as an afterthough she looked back and said "we left because they were burning statues." hmmm. "oh?" i said. "what kind of statues?"
"they're burning god."
"ah. well..."
and off she went.
and i started walking towards the park.
this was something i must see.
