OK
it's been a little while since
ol' Makropoulos has done
one of her extended
arias,
so there may be some folks out there
who might prefer
to ignore this one;
I can go places right now
that the ordinary
parochial
mind may find
a little
out there.
I know that.
But my mind goes there.
And somewhere in my heart I know
there is an iota of truth
in what I write.
I am grateful for the readers
I have,
and I realize sometimes
one of my extended pieces
can be tiring.
Hell, they're tiring for me.
But here goes:
The more I think about it, it's the way to go.
Yes, wouldn't it be a dream if
on 11/11/11 at 11:11
everyone
decided, that for the next year
or so
that is, until
12/21 2012
when the Mayan Calendar ends,
we all just started being
nice
to each other?
~ * ~
I wrote that once,
and I'll write it down again.
Every morning I wake up to more news,
and it makes me think,
as I lie there in bed:
is it Armageddon yet?
I mean seriously folks,
how bad does it have to get
before we all stop trying
to destroy each other?
I mean seriously,
folks.
~ * ~
Because that's when Armageddon
\
will come.
At that moment when
we all
destroy each other.
Hell,
at the rate we're going,
we may do it
before December 2012.
That's right.
We're doing such a damned good job of hating
each other
that we might just succeed
at wiping all of us out
before we even get to December
2012.
,
so
the great proposal
is this:
stop it, will ya?
As of 11:11(2)11 at 11:11
start being nice.
If you do that,
I'm telling ya'
Jesus will come
in the hearts of women and men
Jesus will come.
( colliedoscope )
At this point, let
me please insert a channeling I received
on the morning of February 16:
I wake up every morning and I ask myself:
is it Armageddon yet?
How will we know
when it's here?
Will there be trumpets?
( I say no
--
no trumpets.
)
Just a deafening silence
as the apparatus (this world) produced
by men and women
to sustain themselves
flickers off.
(webecoist )
There may be screaming
-
a collective scream
-
of horror as we realize we
cannot turn it on
again.
There may be, if we believe
that that is what we need
to survive.
There may be looting, and
mugging, and murdering
as the disaffected and
down-trodden
assert their form of justice
over the judges and the lawyers and the abusive
law enforcers.
There may be unspeakable horrors
as humans are left
in the darkness
to discover the darkness
they harbor
in themselves.
There may be.
But may be
not.
( somali )
What of Jesus?:
will he come again?
And how will we know,
will we learn by word-of-mouth
or radio
that somewhere in Bethlehem
in a stable
was born to a virgin
( apod )
and a star shone bright?
And the relief will be great
because we will recognize Him.
But history shows
that Jesus does not come in the clothes
we expect him to wear.
No,
not at all.
That is the true test:
recognizing Jesus
where we least expect
Jesus
( picturesofJesus )
I'm fairly consistent
in my message
in this regard:
that yes, Jesus will come
if we let Jesus come
and the miracle again will be
\
the manner of Jesus' birth.
Jesus will be born,
to each of us, if we can conceive
of the notion that Jesus lingers
inside of each of us, that we are all Jesus
in disguise.
Jesus can and will come
and conquer the world
if everyone could be
Jesus,
if everyone dared to discard
their home and family
and a couple megolamaniac churches
and followed these teachings.
( apod )
I've said it before;
I'll say it again:
many would feel that
only an idiot -
a fool -
would follow the teachings of Jesus
literally.
I mean
literally.
Love one another? (literally)
Don't judge one another? (literally)
Do for the others as you
would have them do
unto you?
(literally)
Turn the other cheek
rather than
fight back?
(literally)
Only an idiot;
only a stupid Fool
would act that way
unabashedly and
sincerely
in the modern world made by men.
I know, because I've tried.
And I have learned I have to keep a wide
open
eye
to the ones who feel
that those who love unselfishly
are here for them to use and abuse.
I fight back bitterness and keep looking for that place where I found
utterly forgiving
love.
I won't give up on love;
it is the one thing that keeps us human
:
love, and laughter.
And I firmly believe
that to sustain humanity,
we must enact love
with a vengeance.
And if we try
we will see
that it's a very wise
Fool
who plays the card
of Love.
