Pillow Talk

When I read the quote below, I was struck not so much by the message as by the author. 

The "Wichita Lineman" has certainly had his fair share of troubles. Married four times, rumors of Campbell's legendary temper and wandering eye were routinely fodder for gossip. For much of his life, he struggled with alcohol and drug addiction. And because of his fame, his flaws were frequently on public display. Given his checkered past, talk of a clear conscience seems a bit out of character for the "Rhinestone Cowboy." 

Perhaps the quote was an aspirational musing of Campbell's. Perhaps not. Either way, it struck a nerve.

In just a few days, the 2021 observance of Black History Month will come to a close. While our nation's racial tensions and disparities have existed for centuries, this intensified effort to both celebrate diversity while raising awareness act as reminders of the work that needs to be accomplished every day, of every week, of every month of the year.

Pillow talk reimagined....

"There's no pillow as soft as a clear conscience." – Glen Campbell
