• April 2, 2009 - Why the Long Faces?

OK. We all know things are pretty grim. But there is good news - we're all in this together, right? Right? The water is either rising or falling, and all the boats get the same treatment (relatively speaking - the rich still eat better than the rest of us). That said, if we are all slowly sinking, (and I do believe its a temporary situation - we WILL see the water's rise again - eventually) then I say lets make the best of it. The things that used to make you laugh should still do the trick. The compassion you (hopefully) felt toward the rest of humanity is still there, just waiting for your permission to bask again in the light of day. The times might be depressing, but it is possible to fight off the worst effects, by remembering who you really are.

I have decided to wear a clown nose at random times throughout the day. So whatever you do, don't smile - smiling is against the rules of depressing times. You know what they call people who break rules?

Malcontents. I for one am VERY malcontented about these depressing times, so, :-)

Some time before, I did need to buy a good car for my organization but I didn't earn enough cash and could not purchase something. Thank goodness my comrade adviced to get the <a href="http://lowest-rate-loans.com/topics/home-loans">home loans</a> at trustworthy bank. Hence, I did that and was satisfied with my financial loan.

Infinite Joke

Who would bind an infinite god,
Build fences of dogma to repel the apostate?
What is written is finite, cannot begin
The task before it without hubris.

Look, darkness glows
No less than light, dark matter
Holds up half the human imagination,
Shines upon hope as well as fear.

In an all-white world, no contrast.
How can anything be discerned?


Look upon this existence and wonder at its purpose –
Can this really be the whole of it?
Is reality truly so narrow? Do dreams
Not matter in the breadth of infinity?

No singular truths, despite the ravings
Of iconoclasts and the righteous.
No solutions that address only one need
Can ever succeed, will always fail.

If god is infinite, what is beneath god’s notice?
If god’s creation issues from perfection,
What of hatred, jealousy, greed, desire?
Perhaps we ask the wrong questions.

In the grand and infinite cosmos that
Holds us so lightly in its embrace,
We are no more than a smudge, a gnat,
An accidental hiccup, leftover
From the original explosion of desire
That issued from god’s heart.

All this struggle for god’s attention,
From behind walls we have built.

God’s laughter, as well, is infinite.
