Crack, Christ, & Grandma
April 17, 2008
With all the business of life, this is quite outdated.
But last time at the office I was pleased with every opportunity to dash out and be in the sun.
Spring has Sprung, some would say. That corny sort of some.
On the subway, a huge guy who must’ve been adopted by a Gospel Church and has become utterly ”New & Improved” in his life’s discourse, gave us all a sermon. Anyone who has experienced subway sermons knows the idea, but this one was particularly amusing to me. His size, firstly was quite overbearing, and his voice- even more so. It was more like a booming substance which battled with my music. He was commanding my subway car that we must become one with Christ. His slogan for repetition, was:
“I gave my best to Crack, now I give my best to Christ!!”
I gather there are people who are instantly inspired by such an outburst, and make life-changing decisions. I just found it quite humorous.
SO during my dashing during the day, my overly attune ears and positive spirit made me notice something else quite funny.
Arm in arm, a nanny a child. The sun clearly had hit their senses as well, as they skipped down the street near Columbus Circle. While they skipped, they sang “Oh we’re gonna sleep with Grandma when she comes, oh we’re gonna sleep with Grandma when she comes!”
They were chanting this gleefuly and proudly to the tune of “she’ll be coming around the mountain when she comes…”
And I simply thought of how rich a mere few minutes out on the street of New York can be.
In sights and sounds.
