I Love the Present

I Theology and History have too much theory Too many opinions, guesses, fake story Because we never experience it, only carry Traces of what others write, say: cut down on story II Every "time" condition kills joy, makes us hurry They're based on some story you tell yourself, really ... Future (goals) or Past (story). It's revised for today Past was someone else's present: victimhood or victory ... Jesus taught very little theology and theory Therefore He was never in any hurry Going to heal Jairus's child, or Lazarus (sought by Mary) Unhurried He healed without appointments, rarely got angry III Perhaps we missed the point of life, Consciousness? Some older societies had it somewhat right, more balance? The best among us go in stealth to the Buddha: "Emptiness" - But Emptiness is not empty: it is Consciousness of The Canvas Artfully ATTENDING, not Mistaken or Fake, but the best of Witnesses Not to tell stories, rumors ... but live Pageants of Exits, Entrances ....

Hey, All you folks (Pixie Dust isna Princess, so I avoided ALL U guys) --thanks so much. You may NOT believe me ... by free-ing ourselves from time, in this little meditation, we lessened KARMA for the entire planet & creation. Exploittaion, pollution, evil begins with egoic thought. shalom, shalom & THANK U for caring

Superb account of your philosophical thoughts on life; you are right...it is consciousness. The last line is dynamite! Right on. Namaste, my friend.

Charlie, Love that pic. Don't break my heart by saying it's fake. I just love it - reminds me of the Brits I admired as a youthful reader of Joseph Conrad (a Pole!) shalom 2X
