It’s 78 degrees at 7:12am or so reports Peco’s illuminated four-story revolving 
ticker-tape seen from my living room window.
Not a good sign. It can only mean another steamy East Coast scorcher of a day. Oy!
Following that helpful news comes the same announcement I’ve seen for months – news of Peco’s new website, the one “you can visit anytime or anywhere” which hardly seems like much to brag about.
To compensate, it ends with quite a flourish: PECO IS DRIVING INNOVATION. TODAY AND TOMORROW. THE FUTURE IS ON!
You bet! The future is on and it’ll be here before you know it. Not looking any too rosy either. A whole lot of people are plenty freaked out about it.
So it got me thinking.
Notwithstanding the “public service” announcements that come across that tower daily, messages like “THE ZOO CHANGES YOU,” I am feeling a distinct lack of inspiration from Peco’s recent posts.
Personally, I would appreciate some inspiration. “We the People” are in dire need of it.
With that in mind, I’d like to suggest that along with celebrating Franklin Square’s 10th birthday, Peco might consider giving us a message or two of hopeful instruction? A stirring “listen-up” from the wise ones – from the mystics, the visionaries, the poets, the saints?
A word of wisdom from the greats? From Gandhi, Socrates, Buddha or Twain? Maybe a verse from Rumi each day?
Even a simple reminder to “unplug” would do.
I can’t help but think that with all that free sky as billboard, Peco could be doing a lot more good if, from time to time, they’d post across the chemtrail skies a truly transformative tidbit like …
- Sit
- Get quiet
- Go inside
Now that’s what I call a Public Service!
