Resentments, *&#)##@%@@!!! Resentments
As were talking, I got a text from Luke. He’d found a publisher for his book about
Confederate Civil War veterans sinking the Titanic. He attached the cover art -
a muscular young man with six pack abs looking through a periscope.
I showed Rudy the text and the attachment. He laughed until
he saw my face. I said, “It’s the dumbest conspiracy theory ever, with an
abs-hole on the cover.”
“Be happy for him,” Rudy advised. “You know how they say a
flower doesn’t compete with other flowers, it just blooms. He’s a crazy flower
blooming in an insane time. Your time will come.”
“Sure, a flower blooms.
Looks great. Until you chop it up
with a weed whacker, stomp on the pieces, set them on fire, and let the dog pee
on the ashes.”
“Resentments,” Rudy said. “Resentments kill your peace of
mind and lead you to doing things just as stupid as the stuff you did when you
were still drinking. I would know. I set
my brother’s car on fire.”
He was right of course. I texted, “Congrats!” to Luke,
muttering under my breath.
Today I’ll let go of resentment.
