• February 24, 2006 - Bucky Could Probably Bail Us Out!

Bucky Fuller is The Guy!
OK, folks, it really is beginning to look like we are all headed for a world of HURT, and in the VERY near future. And we ain't got no Rocky J. Squirrel to bail us outta trouble, not this time. But there is this one guy, see, and sure, he's dead right now, but he left us all some serious tools that might be able to help us get through the coming shitstorm a bit better. 'Cuz godless knows, we gonna need every one of the Smartest Folks in the Room, and then some, if we want to get out of this thing with the basic species intact.
I am talking about the Buckaroo, the Buckmeister, the Big Bucky, Buckminster Fuller, of course. In that galactic dome of his (no, no, his MIND, silly) he brought forth the most amazing thinking about the future of us little carbon life forms and the sphere upon which we spin, infinite-like but probably not that long. This guy had brains ON his brains, and has spawned an ever-growing army of like-minded (well, maybe not QUITE as smart as he was) human units whoare as incurably optimistic as Bucky Bless His Heart was. And godless knows, we could use with a bit-o-optimismo about now, dontcha think?
To learn more about the Bucky Ball-O-Fun, visit the web site a http://www.bfi.org/. Youse won't be sorry, see? I think from now on I'm gonna call this the Blog-O-Desic. Oh, yeah!!!

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.
Notty Bumbo
