Enlightened in Dementiaville

Romeo has been mistaken for an enlightened being, a spiritually awakened person. He is not. Hardly. But if you're sensitive, you can pick up that there's something out of the ordinary about him. Something loving, gentle, darling, deep, sweet, and beautiful about him. Something glowing within him. Something actually glowing him. Something within him that's reaching out to you, touching your heart and awakening it.

Many have walked past Romeo, not sensing anything at all. They joke and giggle in their contained worlds and carry on their conversations, not noticing him, not noticing the gifts he can't help but send their way as they pass. It doesn't matter whether they notice him. He transmits a dose of love to everyone near him. Their receiving it is not dependent on knowing that he's transmitting.

Romeo, enlightened? Probably not, but he might be closer than anyone I've ever known. He certainly has been my personal guru. He has always been my rock. He always will be, even while he lives in Dementiaville.
