I have no more time for the frivolous, no desire to be frivolized. ("He's in his 70's," they say, as if approaching doom, and therefore can be written off, excused, allowed a certain irrelevant peculiarity.)
What "the world" calls of import, I call shrivelous. The world is always in danger, in jeopardy, in need of salvation and has citizens of both ill and good will flying banners to save it. The world cannot be saved, cannot be freeze-framed into some kind of nirvanic perfection. The world is frivolous, is a hussy gigolo who will sleep with any suitor.
I have my eye on more important realms: the beauty of the changing of the seasons; the deep understanding that life is everlasting, that transformation is eternal; the love of my neighbor, human and not human, as myself (and if I do not love myself what good am I?); and perhaps the most important of all, the Light at the core of my being.
I have no more time for the frivilous. I am opening to the realm I am diving into. Pure essence is what I am and pure essence is what I am becoming.
Just another geezer on the Road.

Beautiful statements (because of the truth they contain), George
ReplyDeletefrom one geezer to another - well said
ReplyDeleteMe too from the Little G.
ReplyDeleteYour words bring a sense of peace to this young Geezette (old soul, younger body). I agree that the world society at large can't be or wants to be saved, redeemed, whatever.
ReplyDeleteWithin the Light journey, the adventure among friends is most beautiful, fun, and simply pleasurable. See you on the Road.
