poor little chime ball

the journal of Michael Werneburg

When I was a baby, someone bought a chime ball for my distraction. Amazingly, it stayed at the house on Woodside until I was an adult and for some reason I decided to pick it up. I've had it ever since.

Until the other night, when I left it at the side of the road.

But Mari felt blue about that and had me go back and pick it up the next morning. You've survived this round, chime ball.

The point isn't revenge. It is justice. Revenge is like a wave that washes up on shore - it always washes back out again. Justice is like the shore - it's still there after the wave comes and goes.
