"Yeah, go ask Half Right and we'll figure out which half he got right." I can hear it now, and as this is a 'mea culpa' of sorts, it is funny how we 'miss the mark' on some very basic stuff~~~or~~~as Dylan put it (from Blood On The Tracks): "Images, Big Ideas, and Distorted Facts." Hell~~~all thought is limited~~~just some thoughts are more limited than others~~~or~~~as my friend Charley used to say to me all the time: "Thinkin' thinkin' the same Stupid Thoughts." When I was young I thought that technology had the inside track on Truth~~~the early days of TV and all that imagery and attributed meaning~~~probably the way kids now days view Facebook and Twitter and all the rest of it~~~but? The description is not the described. The word is not the thing. Imagery is like sunlight flashing off the watertop~~~a very shallow affair. Thought is just an abstraction. Oh I learned how we live here in The Great American Spiritual desert~~~how we judge one another~~~think ourselves different~~~how we see ourselves as better than the rest~~~but there are more similarities than differences among All of Us~~~All Human Beings~~~past, and present. This world that we live in is A World of Illusion~~~Maya~~~and it's impermanent too. My culture schooled me in illusion. And what is The Truth? About This Life? Life is All In This Moment~~~eternity ever flowing in The Now~~~and it's up to each of us to Live In The Here and Now. That is where All Life Is~~~the past and future are just fictions of thought. Be Here Now. Awaken In The Timeless Moment~~~for all is One~~~connected, whole, alive, sacred~~~and One. Listen to The Spirit with All Your Heart~~~and the funny thing is, like me~~~you'll still only be Half Right. But if we all truly lived so transparently together~~~we might get it more than Half Right :)
