Listening to Tom Waits sing "Chocolate Jesus" while I think of holidays, the meaning of the whole thing, realizing that I really don't believe in any particular religion, I do however believe in chocolate and I have a feeling Jesus was just a regular guy and the people needed something to believe in; even as the world does now.
I really don't speak politics or religion and there is no money to talk about, I sit on a fence, with out trust in any of it and the really weird part about that is I am fine with it. And maybe, being poor is making me a happier person.
somehow being forced down a road I have never been on is opening new possibilities. I would like to think that this is solely my road, and to some degree i suppose it is, but I am passing so many others on this unpaved muse that I see that I am not alone. So many are walking this now, so many women, so many men all over the world. It seems as though we are all looking for that one thing or even that one sacrifice that would change the lives of all the people, somehow the goal is always the same, even if there is selfishness in the steps, we hope that the achievement will benefit all.
I recently viewed a video of the Dali lama being asked about politics and religion and how hard it is for these folks to communicate and be kind in their words and ways; he said..."festivals! there should be more festivals and picnics for a while, and then they should sit and talk."
He makes me laugh, I think he is right.
