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?
