From 20,000 feet
From 20,000 feet
The world looks somehow different
The things that separate us fade
Into apparent harmony
From 20,000 feet
The fences are invisible
You cannot see the railroad tracks
Or tell which is the wrong side
From 20,000 feet
You cannot tell black from white
Rich from poor
Saint from sinner
At 20,000 feet
You cannot see the chaos
Or hear the cries for help
Or smell the fear in the air
The world is peaceful here
Calm and beautiful
Not such a bad place at all
From 20,000 feet.

SAMPSON!!! You're back!!
Oh, Sampson you are SOOO BAD. I love it...
"A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion.
Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they
consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move
against him, believing that he has the gods on his side." -Aristotle,
philosopher (384-322 BCE)
Sampson, how do I get in touch? Your email address isn't working anymore.
Johanna,
I sent an email to your former email address. Is that account active?

Hi Sampson
I'm sorry to leave this as a pretty irrelevant comment to this particular post, but I can't find your e-mail address anywhere.
I have a blog, and lately I have set up a section for Orthodox writers. I always liked your writing, and would like to put some of your material up, if you didn't mind. I was thinking of "A dollar for a cup of coffee", but I'm also open to anything you have written that you especially liked.
If you see this note, please write me through my blog. I hope to hear from you.
