We Wonder

We wonder why the world we live in is such a mess. We got people everywhere all over the society who are broken humans occupying positions of authority over someone else. A person who is broken cannot fix anybody else. Such a person needs absolutely to abstain from even thinking of another until he or she fixes her own brokenness. Any action such a broken person takes will go astray of the mark. No nation on Earth has ever had a leader who was not broken. Know how I know that?

As soon as a broken person is healed they know, without doubt, that nobody who is whole and unbroken will entertain even for a second the suggestion of a position of authority. The whole person knows only brothers and sisters who are doing the best they can at any moment and is clear that the only assistance he or she can give is to love that person where she or he stands. This “love thing” means simply the unbroken person is going to be true to who she or he is and treat the other as a fellow “just like me”. Sing them a song if they will listen. Otherwise, just hang as one of the crowd. Nothing need be accomplished. That is the key.

By the “key” I mean everything that needed to be accomplished has been accomplished at the beginning of the Universe. It is unfolding its way and nobody can change that. Human beings came along at exactly the correct moment to be the appreciators of the marvel.  The marvel is present that has always been. We are incapable of  change, alteration, or control of anything for we do not even know where we are nor where we are bound. The whole person has simply accepted his or her role as appreciator. It is so much fun! And it is something I do well. I cannot fuck up appreciation. It is a relief to know my job is one I am perfectly designed to perform. Millions are fucking up politics, religion, education, medicine, sports, entertainment, and all the rest of it as you read this little writing. 

For centuries priests have been playing a role as intermediators between God and you and me. Interpreters of truth. Authorities. I do not need any interpreter when I appreciate. I never have needed one. As time went by, we have substituted “professionals” of all sorts as the new “priests” to interpret truth. Nothing could be more silly. 

I do not want you to listen to me and agree with me. No. Not at all. I want you to see how interested you are in the subject and get busy finding out for yourself what is so. I have a little candle that is lit. It can light another. I just hang in the crowd.  Singing a song to you is an unlimited thing. Nobody has a corner on it. Bob Dylan showed us that. La La La.
