I have listened to news stories for years, a shooting, people afraid to go out on the street, elderly are almost hostages in their apartments because of crime on the streets. I never really payed any attention to them much.
I got a taste of it last night, right here in our Coventry Apartment, in the North end of Newark, Ohio.
Marilyn, my wife, had Caleb, our dog, on his leash, ready for his evening walk. She was only gone a few minutes and came back in. It was dark outside, and the "coyote" fear had taken over. I knew how she felt.
"Do you want to walk him?"
"No, I don't think so!"
In this day and age, we are afraid to leave our apartment at night, because of COYOTES.
I now have experienced that fear. I think my advanced age had something to do with it, but now, we both have a fear of leaving our apartment, at night.
The older I get, the more I sympathize, with people, who have experienced one emotion or another, in one situation or another.
Now, I know how it feels, I have experienced it.
