Earth Day

Earth Day A mighty soul squeezes into a body. For the first time or the 10,000st – no matter – It’s humbling, so h u m a n. Learning to use this magnificent vessel, we know nothing. What is this thing: “Language”? We crap our pants. We forgot almost everything and keep forgetting the rest. Everything NEW seems REAL. It will take much work or the Grace of God to perceive the truth again, Amidst all this fascinating stuff. Feelings – a packaged deal with the body. (Much like the Monsanto protection clause in the bill to save the country from bankruptcy) We are addicted to them (the feelings and Monsanto) Yet too scared to allow the full range of what is labeled “good” to “bad”. We spend most of our lives frantically avoiding anything that feels uncomfortable. Don’t you see: it gives that particular feeling more reality than it deserves! On the way home listening to the drum and a deeply melodic, sensuous voice, The old woman in a willowy, wrinkly, white body (www.com) rocks out. The music is intoxicating. The older she gets, the more human she becomes. Youth’s nature is to be perfect. But after almost 60 years of living, she begins to own and honor the imperfection. Everything is there. Love, compassion and kindness, As well as judgment, self-centeredness and even cruelty. The Earth is completing another turn around itself, Whirling around a star as they are being hurled farther “into” or “out of” the Universe? The color is fading out of the landscape. Sucked into the sky as blues, purples, reds and gold. Only to be reborn tomorrow in the luminescent light of the dawn.
