During hour of this year’s half-birthday at a local auditorium for kickoff of final pre-caucus tour, Andrew Yang makes an entrance sweep past aisle seats and our right hands brush palms. Later, husband teases with schoolgirl crush jokes at mention of it. Afternoon sunshine in upstairs window catches LED lamp again at moment it casts shape of cross in front of jeweled Bible cross of Sinai icon — a personal reminder of lessons in iconography and veneration: it’s not incorrect to perceive others with sense of awe. It’s not incorrect to treat others as icons. Yang’s responses during half-birthday hour felt parallel in a civic sense: we value each other not for how we contribute to the economy (or not first or only for that reason); shaping policies with that argument is wrong focus. First and foremost, we — people — are valuable. We value each other as humans first. Humanity first.
Which is not to deny husband discerns a wife pliable toward schoolgirl crush.
