Random Memories, Tiny Tears And A Warm...
Randomly, she said: "My favorite articles of clothing are high heels and perfume."
I said: "Me too! I love fashion, especially the little things... I love scarves too, I wear them all the time. My friends think I'm crazy, I was wearing one in Toledo the other day. It was 39C.
They say: “Really? Hot hot!”
She nods, knowingly.
He says, bewilderedly: “I don’t like it when she wears heels and makeup and perfume. I like girls natural.”
She rolls her eyes.
I say: “You’re a boy. You don’t understand.”
I say to her: “It’s universal”
They explode.
She laughs
He scoffs.
He says, pretend hurt: “FINE. I’m not walking with you anymore.”
He hops across the street and walks on the other sidewalk, waiting for us girls to miss him.
I say: “Good. Boys over there. This is the girls sidewalk.”
I loop my arm through hers: “C’mon, Almudena. Let’s go look at those shoes.”
She says to him: “HAH! You heard her! YOU’RE A BOY! IT’S UNIVERSAL!”
She laughs, to me: “Yes. Let’s go!”

From Kreeft's, The Journey
Pilgrim: So you are asking me, then, to make a blind leap of faith on your authority."
Socrates: "I am NOT. I am asking you to Question all authorities, to do that thing that sounds so easy but proves so strenuous: to think for yourself, to wonder. Philosophy begins in wonder, you know."
