I made friends through my chat room with a music composer. I asked him to write an ode for me, an "Ode to the Moral Leader."
He did:
I received this ode via email while I was reading a book by Susan Casey: "The Devil’s Teeth: A True Story of Obsession and Survival Among America’s Great White Sharks"
As biologist Edward O. Wilson wrote: "In a deeply tribal way, we love our monsters."
My mom emails: "You can play it at your wedding!"
A friend emails: "I like it. It’s trendy, new age, unpretentious, and evocative of the great and timeless wisdom and moral guidance from our great master. Is there a disco version? Do you think you can get Air Supply to do a cover version? "
