TAKE
A LEAP
What
partnership is worthy of its name? I see tee-shirts, caps, bumper
stickers, logos, and slogans all over the place. Is that it?
A
wedding ring? A house? Schools with excellent credential for the
kids? Activities? Opportunities to form ties with other kids? Team
sports? If you look closely and find these to be empty of truth,
existing solely to trap you into a wonderland of fake shit will you
go?
Ask
this: is a real partner, one who will stand by me, going to wear a
tee-shirt stating that with artwork? Can you tell real partnership as
easily as two wolves meeting in the wild? Ever try to put a tee-shirt
on a wolf?
Now,
I now that people at large do seek with all their might to join with
others in some common purpose and die to serve that. It is obviously
in us. We go to such incredible lengths to show it. Boys go out for
football teams with completely arbitrary colors and flags and
uniforms and bands and cheerleaders and stadium lights. Girls try
show business in every way imaginable. People with talent useful in
some trendy new business field are hailed as champions, paid huge
salaries, and given wads of capital by investors to startup a
corporation and hire workers to join them as a team to make money.
Why? Really.
Can
you imagine a wolf pack so stupid? Or, a wolf that cannot understand
what matters most to it and follow it naturally? What made us decide
to follow a contrived plan for life? Prefer it? It is so entrenched
now it is a wonder anyone can stop. Too late? Look, I am not
comparing you to a wolf out of blindness. I know you are not a wolf.
I am not a wolf. I am searching for a natural being, and you were
once just that, to point out to you its way of life.
Think
of some human being you know about or have heard about who you think
may have been loyally following his of her own inner drummer all the
way. Study that life. Like your own life depends upon it, study. If
you cannot think of such a person, study the life of Woody Guthrie. You
have to decide. Is it wise to be advertised by a club of fools who do
it for money? Is it wise to go to a doctor who practices medicine for
money? I am asking whether you believe you have an innate ability to
discern a person who has no agenda with you in mind to partner with
for an unknown journey day-by day?
What
is certain is you will never know unless you take a leap.
