Graceland and Evidence Of Good
MY FRIEND MOLLY CABE WHO TOOK A PHOTO OF HERSELF AT GRACELAND. AND LOOK WHAT CAME OUT. YES, IT'S THE KING. ALL HAIL THE KING.
The fact that Elvis can show up in a picture, the fact that Graceland exists, both of these things in combination with my friend Molly Cabe who came to me and showed me the Elvis Shows Hisself As God picture, which she took herself at the Graceland gift shop? It all points toward a higher being, a benevolent presence who can pop in at any time wearing the guise of the Mother Mary, the Baby Jesus, Elvis, Joan D'Arc and so on. We were moved to think of other evidence of good in our lives and we compiled a short list.
