Damned if I Know!

Attention. . . Attention Please. . .

. . . May I have your attention please? . . . People!! . . . Quiet down please . . . You in the back . . . That means you too . . . I have the floor for a moment. Please allow me this one opportunity to address all of you . . .

Yes, I mean all 6.5 Billion of you . . . Every man, woman and child on this planet . . . I ask just a few moments of your time to extend an invitation . . . I think it’s high time someone step up to the plate to do what nobody seems to have thought to do so far . . .

Each and every one of you are invited to my home, any time, just show up. I know my humble little 1400 square feet will only accommodate a few at a time, but it’s mine to offer. It’s the one place on the face of this earth where I can assure you, you’ll be welcome, you’ll be safe and you’ll be accepted, regardless of who you are, what you are, or what you believe in. . . . Above all, you’ll be loved . . .

There are just a few simple rules . . .

Upon entry to my home, you will show respect to anyone and everyone present. You will not judge or comment based on their religion, race, creed, color, gender or any other factor. You will treat them as equals at all times. You will listen when they speak, just as they will listen to you.

We want to hear about your plans for a better life. A way to make things better for all. So many of us have so much, while many more have nothing. I would love to hear your thoughts on how we fix that.

Nobody should go to bed at night hungry. Nobody should have to suffer because they don’t have access to medical care. Nobody should be left illiterate because they have no access to an education.

More importantly, nobody should ever take any of those things for granted. Just look around at those who don’t have even the most basic necessities. What is wrong with what you see?

If you come to my home with an honest concern for others, there will always be a seat for you . . . . Just remember, you may have to share that seat . . .

After all . . . it’s only 1400 square feet . . .

But it’s here, any time you want to drop by . . .

Thanks for listening . . .

HUGGSS!!
