Waiting for a Miracle

 

The Buddha was said to have walked on a jeweled walkway suspended in mid-air while streams of water spouted and flames flashed from his body. Moses parted the Red Sea. Jesus walked on water. 

 

But none of these miracles mean much to me compared to the miracle I am awaiting: that an American Republican congressperson would stand up and finally, finally, against all expectations of past behavior, lack of spine, loss of moral compass and alignment with simple decency, finally stand up in Congress and do the right thing: declare once and for all that no one is above the law and there are no more excuses left for defiling the Capitol Building, the Constitution and the very oath their guy swore. 

 

That would be a miracle that would put the others to shame.
