A Christmas memory: Serenity and solitude at the Mike Patrick place

It was early Christmas morning, around 5 o’clock. I had woken up and looked out the window to see a clear, moonlit night. A good time for a walk, I thought. I was sixteen years old — almost, my birthday was the next day — and I rose and dressed quietly so as not to wake my parents. I went very slowly down the back stairs from my bedroom, trying to avoid the steps that creaked, found a coat and hat and unlocked the back door. Outside, I discovered that it would be an even better walk than I thought. There was about a foot of snow, which would have been slow walking, but it had crusted overnight and was hard enough to walk on. It was very easy going.

Battle of ideologies

Power, power everywhere—power, power; who really cares? It’s quite obvious the stakes are so very high and political parties stop at nothing short of desperate manipulation to win that almighty power for the political candidate. This power is to be greedily grasped no matter what the cost—cherish that power—hoard it. The political office holder is in control of that power and becomes a member of the “political elite.” Well, enough is enough.
