So Small

So Small

Clear blue sky above

horizon of winding roads;

paths for those so small.

The Story

The author reflects on the vast, universal perspective offered by a scenic route through Odessa, using it to comment on the 'small minded' divisiveness and intolerance plaguing modern society, particularly in the political sphere. Referencing Alexander Hamilton, they underscore the risk posed by demagogues to democracy, and advocate for an inclusive, communal mindset inspired by indigenous cultures, highlighting the need for 'larger minded' people in leadership. They express the hope for a future where such individuals are valued and elected, making us 'intellectually great minded dots' in the wide canvas of our world.
