CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
In 1965, Bob Dylan was facing a lot of backlash from “friends” as his music was shifting to a more electric sound. Some were not happy with his departure from his “folk” music roots. He wrote a scathing song, Positively 4th Street, to get some things off of his chest.
Some of my favorite lines of any song are in the last verse of the song:
“I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes, And just for that one moment I could be you. Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes, You’d know what a drag it is to see you.”
We all probably know someone that elicits such feeling in us. I know a few that bring those thoughts to mind. The Lord knows better than I the feelings that others may have when I approach.
This brings to mind Major General Fred Forster. Fred was in command of the Air National Guard at McGhee Tyson until his retirement in May 2003 after which he became a prominent community leader in Blount County. He was the exact opposite of the person(s) Bob Dylan wrote about. When Fred approached me, or anyone else for that matter, I felt like the most important person around. He truly engaged with people and made them feel that they mattered. The great thing is they did – in Fred’s eyes. What a great guy. I think of him often. Sadly, he died much too soon after a three year battle with cancer in 2010 at the age of 64 years old.
We could all learn from this wonderful role model.
