posted: Oct. 14, 2016
C-Dub asked us to reprint some of his favorite columns from the first year of the Broad Ripple Gazette. Here is his 2nd column from Volume 1 #14 first published on November 12, 2004.
Albert Einstein was once asked, "What is the force driving the Universe?" Einstein said "Love."
Here is a poem about that force:
Another Reality
Your psychiatrist is wrong!
The time of day does not matter.
Neither does the day of the week or
The day's date.
Love is all that matters.
The moment matters. If you are
Still enough you will find
Eternity.
The birds in the trees matter. We
Can be grateful for every bird
In every tree-if we choose to.
Your friends matter. Your family
Matters.
Even your enemies matter. Maybe
The love we give to the ones we
Love the least matters the
most.
You have been lied to.
Love is all that matters.
But you can always choose
Another Reality.
C.W. Pruitt II
April 1999
