It is three degrees this morning and the last thing I’m going to try and figure out is how and where my soul is going.
I don’t even know where I’ll be this Spring. So I have no clue where my soul has been nor where it plans on going.
I was born just after Vatican II and in the heat of the Civil Rights movement.
As a little boy I went to mass and Father told me I had a dove in my chest. Well I had a Holy Spirit in my soul and my parents told me My soul was in my heart.
As a little boy I watched a show every Saturday called “SoulTrain.” I don’t know why a chubby white kid preferred Don Cornelius over Dick Clark? I did know that black people had better music and cool hair.
Soul to me is a bird that Jesus arranged for his father to give me. It is also Marvin Gaye, Sly and the Family Stone and The Gap Band.
I wish I had a rendition of the “Our Father” and the “Hail Mary” sung by Marvin Gaye. Just like he did the National Anthem at the NBA all star game in 1983… that would be spiritual for damn sure.
Today is Robert Burns birthday. This is big if you are a Scot. I’ll pass on the Haggis dinner tonight… many of us hangout with Bobby every New Years Eve.
Stay warm these next couple days… it’s almost February!
