Remember that feeling you had, when you first saw his face and
his presence told you he was the essence of Earth, Wind and Fire?
Soul music blasts in your ear and then when he smiles,
you hear Maurice White belting out the refrain to that song.
Just the chorus.
It’s 1985.
You’re at 3:37 and can’t focus for eleven more seconds.
Out of breath, you catch yourself as he’s talking, mid sentence.
You haven’t heard a word he’s said.
Have you ever had your circuits shorted out by someone?
It’s not a yearning or a need.
It’s a statement.
It’s sustainable, even if unrequited.
It’s not love.
It’s a soulful reprise.
Resonance of the highest order.
I hope you meet someone who feels that way about you someday.
I hope you’ll want them just the same.

I saw the Ohio Players (Fire and Rollercoaster) at the NCO Club in Ramstein, Germany.

Thank you for this, I’m so happy that you do, too. I’m right now listening to Maurice and was singing at the top of my lungs, while tossing my head in all directions. I was disturbing my colleagues. It’s unsustainable.
