Friday eve, 30 minutes in Cancun Centro Cometcial, busy and “occupado”, but not one other foreigner.

That’s so many millions of Americans are susceptible – twice– to a dupe.

The incorrect assumption that most men are guided by reason. 

The gentle-looking man who got into the dental clinic cab after me was, by voice, clearly not British, but also not American. 🤔… Our driver was a sweet friendly woman who unfortunately had scores of bumps on her face and skin. Surely a bad fate for most women, I thought.

It turned out that the polite, soft spoken man was Canadian, and the woman driver was from Mexico City. I was keeping to myself… and as they spoke, she praised chattingnigly with him all of the great variety of free cultural activities there – compared to “only beach, cenotes, and the Plaza of the Americas in Cancun” – but said she could no longer live in such a busy, also dangerous, city and her having found “her place” in Cancun for 20 years of her life.

Somehow related to the Canadian’s recounting the good fortune of his retirement with his wife and their life,… being “blessed by God” came up. Both of them discussed quite sincerely, casually, certainly, how God, “the Lord”, takes care of those who were good and sincere in their dependence on him. The final words on this from the woman were somewhat: be good to the Lord of the Lord will be good to you.

Here was a good Canadian man, and a single, perhaps lonely, but gregarious 50-year-old Mexican women, discussing prices and inflation after Covid, and then their both agreeing on the theology of the Lord and how he is good to those who are good to others and believe in him.

Even if there is no “Lord”, and the natural atheists are somehow right – if only in an indifference of superior, invisible powers to daily personal life – how important to so many people is imagining, believing, surely needing, their life to be cared for personally .

Equality also applies to those of willful stupidity

They live rather in the shared belief in a good God and a good world, than in the times of history that proceeded, surrounds and will follow them. 

These Notes would be most realistically read by those who come upon them as reports from someone where they and most others will likely never be.

Most I know are among the asleep, and should be related to so. 

Faces in this Cancun Centro mall are not of those who intellectually chose to be here. They are the faces that belong to the mall. The mall is a place made for them.
