I woke up this morning feeling like a normal human being.  But then …

A word appeared in my mind, and wouldn’t go away.  It’s still here.

Everybody

During my day, I hear many words.  Some of them land more deeply than others.  But this one!  It’s burrowed down from the skin to my heart.

No analysis.  No “Yes buts”.  Just the word hanging before my eyes … shining.

This morning I watched the second half of the Wimbledon Women’s Final match – Karolina Muchova vs. Linda Noskova.  Centre Court was full with about 15,000 tennis fans.  I looked at them as the word continued to roam around in my head.

Young/old, dress shirts and dresses/t-shirts and shorts, enthusiastic/reserved, hats/none, sunglasses/ none …

All of us

Now I’m sipping away in a half-full Lloyd Coffee Eatery.  Same deal …

All of us
