We are all wound up over the
state of human insanity in our world and we tend to express our discontent on
what Rachel Maddow calls the internet machine. But all of this will end in a predictable
way. We will remain incense; meanwhile
we grow old, infirm, diseased or injured and then we all die.
We get put in the ground, we
get cremated, we get sky burial or some not so lovable love one flushes us down
the toilet.
And then generations pass and
people will be wound up over the human insanity in the world: liberals will be
disgusted with the way the rich are treating the poor; and people with hearts
and brains will be protesting the next war; Christians will be bigoted against
their next perceived enemy; while politicians placate the factions in power in
order to retain their exulted station.
The world is constantly
moving – there is constant change; but everything stays the same.
Meanwhile Mother Earth
presents us with an opportunity to witness astounding splendor – if we would
only disconnect and observe.
In two weeks we will
experience the Spring Equinox. This is
a magical time when the day and the night are equal in duration and the earth
moves from Winter into Spring in our hemisphere.
This should be a time of celebration: a time
when we stop what we are doing for a couple of days and stand in awe at the
transformation that is taking place on our world. This is a time that we should be aware of
our own insignificance and marvel at the miracle that is the accident of our
existence. Once people lit bonfires and danced through
the night…
Now we are too busy – or too
preoccupied with the absurdities of our own making.
Spring Equinox: March 20th. First day of Spring – March 21st.

Very nice Buzz!
ReplyDeleteI really don't give a damn about politics or most of the stuff that excites people, but I do care about the longer days and about a special day where day and night are of the same duration. Much of what has helped me is not having a TV. I've been without one for about six months now and really have no idea what nonsense they are talking about today and I say nonsense cause in the whole scheme of things there is absolutely nothing on TV that makes a difference. I do like the "Internet Machine" though, but I don't think I use it for many of the same things Rachel Maddow has concerns about. :)
Everything is everything. Ha.
It's also a time to try and balance an egg on it's end.
ReplyDeleteOne glance at our little blue speck in the Universe tells me all I need to know...and it has nada to do man-made isms.
