First, I wasn’t sure if I could say for sure I had heard correctly. I recall -
Person 1: Are we headed in the right direction?
Person 2: I think so (slight pause), we weren’t given any option..
Person 1: Yeah there was just this one path
The sound of the conversation rising and falling as the walkers neared then passed me.
A thought, an expression of questioning, which was such a pleasure to hear. The sign of a healthy habit of questioning. Yes, a soft chuckle at the notion, (why ask if there was really one path), and a thunderous thankfulness for the thought. People thinking about the path they are on. People asking questions about the path they are on. People responding to the question.
This banter of friends was heard at Minute Man National Historical Park. The freedom of speech we have in this nation is the envy of many, and the curse of some. Because we have the freedom to question and the freedom to answer.
The light, then the thunder of liberty’s bell. Ask questions, provide answers, repeat as needed.
