On the way to work..

[manifesto_tea]

On my way to work today, I encountered a highly agitated woman pacing in the street and shouting "Billy!  Come back!" over and over into her cellphone.  She was too loud to ignore and seemed to be in great pain, and was promising that she'd apologize for all of her wrongs and look to the future.  It felt terrible to see her, to walk by.

I thought, "I hope Billy listens and is moved" and then also thought, "Billy sounds like an ass and probably isn't worth it."
