Goats God & Giggles
by Char ~*
Once I lived in a cabin at the end of a long dirt road. We had a little goat Billy that loved to boing and play. joy joy boing boing joy boing joy n stuff .
He got into this very not good thing to do when he found that he delighted in jumping on car hoods, boing bong clang ! and there didn't seem to be any way to stop him - he would boing bong and clang till you got out to do something about it and then he'd run. Fast. Whatta rascal. sheesh.
One day the Jehovah's witnesses came down the road imagine that! Out in the middle of nowhere, and they find us anyway , and I'll bet they were clutching their books all the way down ... they prolly were figuring they might either meet God or the Devil at every turn. and no telling who they feared most.
Well I heard the car, and just figgered it was some of my friends, so I went out on the porch to greet them, as was my way. I had no shoes of course, cut offs, (lucky them)and nothing more, and was holding and nursing my little Wind, my baby. My son Owl came running out bare assed nut brown hippie toddler white haired not shy.. well, you know.
Well they had just stepped from the car, some men and women and a young boy. All in suits and ready to save the lost, which I suddenly had the feeling must be me, and I guess the Witnesses sure did witness that day. Their pasted smiles disolved in a wink, and they quick as rabbits grabbed the boy and as the lady held her hand over his eyes, they all pulled and pushed him and themselves back into the car whereupon they turned around abrubtly in a cloud of dust and prayers and proceded oh so hurridly back up the rocky road with thier muffeler hitting,scraping, banging, and the devil goat boing bong clanking their hood all the way. : )
heh. It was great.
ps. Though this is a true story, it was not meant to be criticle of or poke fun at Jehovah's Witnesses as a whole - it's the attitudes of shock and and disgust and predjudice this particular group were showing to their fellow human beings that were just chillin' in their natural habitat - why, it's enough to make Jesus cry. And it's that very attitude that keeps things so seperated in this world today ........
Here's to Unity and Tribal consciousness beloved sisters and brothers! The truth will overcome the bullshit. It is written. boing bong clang!
