Can Someone Show Me the Way?

By Willie James King, USA.

We had an earthquake a few days ago, here. No damage. I think the universe is far from perverse, but it has a way of purifying itself. And this is not a bad thing. Nature is wise, and she knows far more than Nothing. We should too. And though they report no damage, I doubt if such a rumble might occur without some aspect of ruin, small, or not, though it is incapable of being discerned; our world is groaning. Stay wise and attentive. Many of us are grieved and are groaning too, mainly individuals, in either Red, or Blue states: Such Foolishness. We aren’t united.

Can a Red teacher teach a Blue pupil? Or, a Blue, a Red? Is either color genetic? Or else, how do we make amends for these, unless we place too much emphasis on color? Often, we tend to say, color does not matter. If not, then, when should one be able to detect the difference?

Simply seeking American wisdom; please, can someone show me the way?
