The Joy Of Letting Be

A population becomes divided, thinking muddled through argument, and it progresses to be a more and more divisive force until lines are drawn by faulty thinking. A line has been drawn between those who say we are what we are, dammit, and must do the best we can to remain with heads above the water line; these times being harsh; and tho' we hope for better ones and all the rest the strong will always prevail so we have to rid the world of troublemakers so as to save the ones worth saving and leave the weaker behind and the God we serve is the One who's on our side; and those who proclaim we must change and shoulder the duty to care for the lost and weakest among us and make this a better world for all to equally share and play fair and dare to stretch forth a hand of mercy to prove we care so God will be there to light our way and bless us each day so the rich are to be made to loose their hold on the wealth and pour forth enough of what rightly belongs to everyone or stand before the bar of judgment and be punished.

All of it amounts to a muddy bucket of disputation, Should we do this or should we do that? Wars are made of that.

Watching a movie based on a play by a distinguished playwright there was portrayed before my eyes and ears a struggle between the wealthy War Lord and the Salvation Army. At the end, the disputants decided to join forces seeing there was good and bad on both sides. I had little hope this gesture was genuine or going to resolve anything really but at least it had a morsel of truth behind it...everybody's lost. Yet, a congress of fools is only that. Not going to change a tat.

Wisdom. What is it? Seeing that when the body sleeps all is folded into one, a journey is begun that can be the beginning of a winding back home to the start and by doing nothing discovering. One discovers we have what was never lost. It works for the individual and it works for any who see it to be so. Suddenly, one has real appreciation as if for the first time. Simply realizing it, one prefers it to pride. In this way of life there are no leaders, only trusted servants. All relationship is seen to be that between equals. Nobody need busy himself in the building of civilizations of masses of people just like him. That job was done at the beginning by some Governor who insists upon remaining anonymous but who knows us well. The only task is an unlearning and a letting be. I do not want you to take my word for it. No. I think not for someone else. There is no charge for this. Find out yourself. That which causes each rose to bloom I see in you.

If others are as lonely as we are, wouldn't it be ignorant to remain apart from them?
