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 ....
