We think we know what's up, although we can't seem to keep our eyes off the ground. As I drive by the aggregate businesses, and the car dealerships and the strip joints, it all looks the same..like people playing, with, forming, molding, chasing after, and all and all focusing the entirety of their attention, on DIRT.
The money's dirt, the cars are dirt, the buildings are dirt the bodies are dirt and the dirt, rock, gravel and SAND are dirt.
However do we climb up from the mud when we're so enamored of the slimy sludge that we can't seem to stop singing songs about it..writing scripts about it..finding our purpose in it?
And so what DO our lives amount to when our hearts, souls and the days of our lives have been poured into gathering up the biggest big pile of dirt that we can? Or burning up as much of it as can be managed?
Don't we really amount to bubbles in the mud? Just momentary stirring upon its surface that are quickly absorbed and forgotten?
Aren't we, with our focus so intent upon the ground, little more than animals scratching around in the dirt for some corn? Clawing our hooves at the ground and locking horns come the mating season?
What hope there is for us all cannot be found in these brutish and pointless acts of "going through the motions."
Apathy IS treason. Treason against ourselves. Treason against our children. It is a treason committed against the very universe herself, which, having concieved, over the course of billions of years, this glorious step beyond material evolution, could not have imagined any dimmer days than are these in the history of her becoming.
What was it phebe said? "What ARE our souls moored to?"
How is it that we can learn to become more than what we've always been? When the entire world has hoisted the sails and tossed the anchor how will we fair in the coming storm?
What fate awaits us all and indeed, what fate awaits the very Creation should we fail to rise to our evolutionary challenge?
No doubt she has a back-up plan. Let's hope she doesn't have to use it.
