The worst of humanity,
the best of humanity,
both appearing at the most unexpected times.
Always dangerous, these potential children of God.
At the drop of a hat they can bring a tear to your eye,
Wantonly cruel,
selflessly generous,
spinning from one to the other on a moment’s notice.
Love them, hate them,
and know they will love you and hate you,
in either case for no particularly good reason.
They will take and give,
crucify and worship,
all in the same breath.
This is pure, random, irrational potential,
the human potential,
enthusiastically constructing hell
while providing glimpses of Heaven.
Judge not, because it does no good anyway.
Any judgement will have to change in the next moment.
Know that something horrible and something beautiful may
happen in any interaction.
Prepare to be bored, blessed, buoyed and bludgeoned in any
and every interaction with this species.
Connect with them at your own risk.
Instead you can try to connect with God.
But you will quickly discover any connection with God demands
connection with God’s children.
Please pass it on.
