USA. A breakfast counter. The waitress recommended the biscuits and gravy, and when the plate arrived, I thought something had gone wrong in the kitchen.

I say this with shame. The dish looked like a construction site after rain. Pale mounds. Gray ladle-fall. Speckles I could not identify.

In my land, the eye eats first. A meal is arranged like a garden. This meal was arranged like weather.

"Is it… finished?" I asked, carefully.

"Honey, that's what it looks like."

The man beside me was already eating his. He did not look up. "Just try it."

I am a man who has charged hillsides at dawn. I raised the fork. I tried it.

I must now formally apologize to the biscuits, the gravy, the waitress, the kitchen, and the entire breakfast tradition of the American South.

It was magnificent. Warm. Peppered. The biscuit drank the gravy the way a field drinks rain — THAT is why it is shaped like that, you fool — and every mound I had insulted was a soft fold of comfort that my homeland, in eight hundred years, never once thought to invent.

"Well?" the waitress asked.

"I judged it," I confessed. "By its appearance. I am ashamed."

"Everybody does, hon."

Everybody does. A national dish that forgives you for doubting it. It expects the doubt. It waits for you on the other side of it.

Do not judge the gravy by its face. Judge yourself, for hesitating.

I order it every Saturday now. I no longer see the construction site. I see only the garden.

It was a garden the whole time. The eye must be trained.

@BretBaier ask Kamala at what point does a baby get its own rights - which might conflict with the mother’s rights? When does the baby’s life matter as much as its mother’s? Should a wanted fetus have more legal protections than an unwanted one?

After talking with people who know more than I do, I believe Jim Harbaugh genuinely wants to stay at Michigan. He just "wants to know he's wanted," several told me, and it's not about the number. (He gave back $1.5M to department employees to compensate for Covid cutbacks.)

@SantaJOno If I read between the lines correctly, I see that the President “communicated” to the AD that our coach WILL be returning. Good. Now let’s fix why the AD seems to have been the problem.

SCOTUS said what was obvious: the Constitution neither protects nor bans abortions so it has to be decided state by state. It's fascinating to watch people who have been justifying so much lately to stop "threats to our democracy" now scream that democracy can't be trusted.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Whenever a man and a woman fall in love, God offers them a gift; that gift is marriage. It is a marvellous gift, which contains the power of God’s own love: strong, enduring, faithful, ready to start over after every failure or moment of weakness. #WMOF22

I would respect the people #leavingtwitter more if they would be honest and start a platform for "Things we've decided you can say" - Let's see how many people sign up for that.

Pessimism and complaining are not Christian. We were not made to be downcast, but to look up to heaven.
