Lament

So many of us do so little with so much.

I myself am guilty of this, but vastly less than most.  But I too can do better.

Imagine the billions of people out there right now, at this very moment, struggling every day for food and shelter.

Imagine the hundreds of billions, cumulatively, who have lived and died without ever being able to read great literature, great spiritual works, or spend even a couple hours a day meditating.

We are so blessed, and we do so little with it.

Someone accused me of being from the 1800’s the other day.  I took it as a compliment.  I told him that back then they wrote in complete sentences and had attention spans longer than 20 seconds.

The thing is that even most conservatives are infected with this disease.  Hurry hurry hurry, noise, noise, noise.

When was the last time you heard a cowbell?  Have you ever seen the Milky Way, properly?
