True confessions. I like to look at car wrecks. My preference is to pull over and get out of the car. My job of choice is the emergency room, at the county hospital.
So on this most holy week, what am I drawn to watch on the "telly"? A documentary/drama about , The Manson Murders!!! You could not pry be away from the reenactment of blood and mayhem. My son Hart asked, "Mom why do you watch this stuff"? " Your sweet momma is a car wreck watching person!!!"
This is not easy to explain, but these murders, have haunted me. They were a big event in my youthful mind. Charles Manson scares the be-Jesus out of me, then and now. My girlfriends and I read everything about "The Ranch", and his followers. The mystery of why these kids would follow this charming leprechaun of a man, or monster??They were all about our age, when love was in the air. What happened? Drugs, fear of this little man, low self esteem?? No clue, to this horror. You just brutally murder people because this loser tells you to??
So I watch, and pull over to the side of the road, looking at the gore, hoping for a miracle, knowing that there was none. Lost people, doing really bad things.
It could be time for a change of habits, at least the day before Palm Sunday!!!!
