Worshiper’s Cheat Sheet

Live
Breathe
Life ordered
And a megalomaniac in love with life
Tried to do all that and more

The delusion stays alive as long as the mania stays alive
The mania is a part of life so the delusion stays alive till death detoxifies the mania out

I asked:

Were you Jesus Christ?
Yes, it said

Were you the Buddha?
Yes, it intoned

Are you immortal?
It smiled benignly

I looked upon it like it is an apparition
Like it was a figment of someone’s volatile imagination
Like it was from the same class of species as the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, and some Godmother
Like it had four wings and fifteen hands
Like it is Shiva and Vishnu
Like it is Benito Mussolini, Mahatma Gandhi
Like it is Nemesis

The cheat sheet whispered out of the worshiper’s hands…

Les Misérables

Relative obscurity!

Standing tall but in the darkness; no sunlight can cast shadows…nor can the powerful beam of the searchlights reach to those quiet hidden corners.

Simple and sagacious…loads of gumption…dedication and persistence in resistance to driving the focus away from ground realities.

Faith, trust, belief! Amazing that these things fail to secede to irrationality and ignorance.

Does persistence pay? If that be the case, everyone who tried and failed and tried again would eventually be on the winner’s podium. So there is a fallacy in this belief.

Suddenly Something!

All the places we have gone, all the faces we have seen, all the puzzles and all the space…this universe is there to essay a dream, envision, entice, elucidate, and entrap.

What you see is what you fear

What you feel is what you revolt against

What you control is what you cannot tame

What you dilute is what you submerge
