I believe in
"This I Believe".
Every Monday morning around 6:45, or Monday evening around 6:00, if I'm near a radio I try to tune to 89.7 WUWM. If I'm lucky I'll catch a short radio program, usually less than five minutes, that I fully absorb and savor. This I Believe is a popular 1950s program recently revived in 2005. The normally emotional segments are made even more so by the inflection in the author's voice. I get teary just thinking about it. The writers share their innermost thoughts with us strangers as they explain what it is they believe in most.
Some "beliefs" are a little bizarre but they're all creative and I've enjoyed them all. I don't have any particular favorites but the one I heard last Monday, January 15, was pretty good.
About a month ago the Journal Sentinel did an interesting
story on Wisconsin authors of This I Believe. A gal in Menomonee Falls wrote the second most viewed essay in the This I Believe 20,000 essay database.
Do I have any particularly strong beliefs? You know I do. But that's another blog.
What is your belief?
