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!

Why is it that when I think of you in a meditative pose it is either oxymoronic or conjures up the thought of the residual effect of LSD taken in the ’60s?
P.S. You never told me you were leaving Moorestown to become a city girl. Fortunately, you have the PECO tower to stimulate your creative juices. Shades of the Aztecs’ worship of the sun god? Hmmm?

Sage words, my dear friend. Besides the wisdom of finding Sacred Silence, I love your reminder to “unplug’…for such a “connected” society, people are more isolated from humanistic living than ever before! After finding clarity from sitting, we all need to reach out to each other for that personal connection…(as he writes a reply on his computer…groan.) Much love, dear!! xo

Mayzee dear……make up a list of quotes you want to see & submit to PECO…..you never know. Be your most persuasive.
