Yorkville, Toronto
A Call Came
A call came in on my personal
phone. It was one of those recordings with a male voice representing social
security and how I am suspicious of etc. You know, it’s one of those scam calls
where they try to pry money out of you after due interrogation. I waited for
the recording to complete after his final line, “For clarification dial 1.” So,
I dialled 1 to offer my clarification.
A live voice answered, “Yes, can
I help you?”
I gave my piece. “You people
should be ashamed of yourselves. Do you realize what kind of karma…” She cut in
saying, “No, we are not ashamed,” and hung up.
Such was my contribution to truth
for the day. It was actually a day of truth in many ways. One such truth was
the appearance of lightly sauteed asparagus at lunch time. Another was a walk,
of course, while fingering on my chanting beads through the streets of
Yorkville.
Here’s yet another “truth”
moment. It happened more than once today, by phone and text. “I heard you have
COVID.”
“You have got the first two
letters right – CO and the last letter D is also correct. Remove the V and I
and replace with an L. That spells COLD. That’s what we used to call it. The
one syllable word also sounds better. I’m actually fine, though I had, for a
short while, a runny nose.
I earned three vaccinations.
Three jabs, indeed, and I caught a minor cold. That is my relative truth for
the day.
May the Source be with you!
