Okay, how about a whole verse?
Like an echo down a canyon Never coming back as clear, Lately I’ve been judging distance, Not the words I hear. Tell me about a couple of things that have shaped your view of the world. Two things come to mind. I did a stint with the Peace Corps in Morocco. Several years later, I bought and refurbished a little 1920’s apartment building, then rented it out for a couple of years. No matter what your politics or worldview might be, serving in the Peace Corps will shake your fundamental beliefs and move you about 20 degrees to the left. By the same token, being a landlord will shake them around again, and move them about 20 degrees to the right. So, all that work and I guess I’m pretty much back where I started.
