Attending yet another local spiritual meeting and rubbing elbows with the cohorts I am constantly reminded - if not amazed - at how utterly different they are to me. At least in certain ways. Preoccupied with the fates of their loved ones they have visions or premonitions that may even hinder their daily or spiritual pursuits. Assuming the narcissistic acquisition of enlightenment is somehow justified by it's very piety of purpose.
When was the last time I ever cried for a human being? I don't remember. Besides they aren't worth the tears to begin with. Such an attitude. I must be ripe for therapy. I wonder if they have Reiki out patient services? I can't stay over night because who would take care of the dog? Poochie is my best friend and I could never abandon him.
I may be stupid but I'm not dumb. All my studies and feeble attempts at meditation are good as far as they go. But anything that is naught but a compensation is going against the grain. That probably explains why sometimes people appear to fall from the path. Yeah temptation beckons and the carnal wins. But one of the best words of wisdom I ever heard is if you lose the "spark"; if the flame seems to go out; when the vision becomes elusive just take a vacation. A sabbatical. Go back to nature. Become the kid you started out as.
I still think senility is a curse. And becoming childlike is one way to escape reality. But if the world seems cold and sans wonder if may be because you have lost your sense of adventure. Or affection. This may have been one of the most eloquent pieces I have ever written. Or just a lullaby. Are we still awake ?!
Odd that we have such an ingrained sense of survival to prolong our lives as long as possible when we don't even know that much what it is to be truly alive ....
