A Different Question

Day Books: Thu 2008-10-31 - Washington, DC

I have often made reference to the three people who I would follow through the Gates of Hell. I have further qualified it with the distinction between following them and would accompany them ... "I wouldn't follow their leadership, but if I had to go there, I'd sure like to have them with me."

My willingness to follow The Few is my confidence in their ability to get us both out again, or else to spend Eternity there while sharing our pain ... this is as unquestionable as the dawn, but at a price dearly earned. (I.e., they each chewed on my ass like a pit bull on a chihuahua. :-)

In this larger category, I automatically include those with whom I have already "Shaken the Pillars of Heaven" ... those comrades tested true in the face of setting protocols with global ramifications ("The Big IGES in the Sky", a tell for Another Time.) But today I asked myself the question in a different way, and heard a different question.

"Would I go through the Gates of Hell at their request, whether they accompanied me or not?" ... the funny thing is, the answer came so quickly ... it's the same three that I would follow ... I would be Selfish, and risk Eternal Solitude only for the ones I respected enough to trust that it was both the Right Time and the Right Reason, without question or doubt.

And those three people? Well, one of them is my father, and I'll keep the other two to myself for now. :-)

That is all I have to say. -=Dennette=- 2008-10-31
