That Faith of AOC
Hemingway took me out for a walk this morning. The sun was up and while not really warm, it was at least bright. We walked the Dry Canyon, a walk that we don’t often do because it’s usually crowded. But we took the southernmost route today so we only ran into a few folks.
We had almost finished the walk when we happened upon a group of three women. Hemingway is used to having people comment on how cute he is. He, in truth, has come to expect it. A trait common to too many handsome people, I believe. It’s the dog version of staring at yourself in every window you walk past. He always slows down and grins big at those passing by, refusing to budge until they compliment him.
Of course, the three women did just that. “How cute,” one said. “He’s sure happy,” said another. Covid doesn’t really permit for small talk among strangers, so I just nodded and moved along. I was about five steps beyond them when one of them called out after me: “Is there something we can pray for you for?”
I was a bit startled and not sure I had heard her correctly. I stopped: “What?”
