A Mystery Emerges

 


Are you as bowled over as I am about Liz Cheney?  Just the name Cheney still sends shivers down my spine.  And now, even as the shivers remain, I have to add the name Liz and come up with a new reaction.

My friends say that after the hearings she will go back to all of her policies that we despise.  We laugh about whether the few Democrats in Wyoming should cross over to support her.

I just read a thoughtful article by Monica Hesse about the Liz phenomenon.  She puts it all together beautifully.  I am more inclined to add it to the pile of "mysteries of life" which  keep me humble.  Thank goodness they keep me still curious and engaged.

  1. I, too, was surprised, Joan. On reflection, however, I don't find it that remarkable. We are not all one thing, the same in all circumstances. In situation A we may do good. In situation B, we may run away. In situation C we might cause great harm. Most of us prefer to think, "I would never do that!" If you haven't lived through that situation, you might be wrong. Surely, you don't know for sure.
