Oblivious
I want to write about things that to me seem ridiculously obvious.You know, crap, that you see all the time. The same old shit. Just being perpetrated over and over.
Insanity really.
But base, and basic in a way.
Things that just are, and some people can't seem to see them or grasp them.
Whether it be word or thought or deed.
I don't mean obvious in the sense of apples are red or escalators go up and down or honey is sweet.
I mean things that are both obvious and simple like use your turn signal or say you are sorry or don't eat too much.
Things that are obvious lend themselves to the finding out of many dumb things and dumb people all around.
Obvious things are a magnet for stupidity, they kind of set the standard and weed out the pack.
Not to be judgmental. I am as dumb as the next guy.
But sometimes I think I have a better sense of the obvious than your average joe shmoe.
I say that
but when I sit down to write and set my mind to the task of writing about these aforementioned obvious things I often have a difficult go at it.
I love the Sopranos. The quality that makes that show so engrossing seems elusive.
I love endorphins, they make me feel so good.
I love people, for the most part, and I try to love them all as children of the One.
It is the same energy that made and sustains and fulfills us all.
I love sports. More points less wars.
I love music, I even make it sometimes.
I love art.
I prize it above most human endeavors.
Although I realize it is often quite useless and/or misused in the modern world.
I am a believer in a higher power. I believe there is one true god. One true one.
The God of love and the God of peace.
But the same dude used to be the God of justice and wrath.
I know that god by the name of Jehovah
Yaweh
But I reckon that other names of other god and gods spoken by other tongues of other folks of the human race are embodiments of the same great force or forces that give us life and promises us more than just ourselves
and more than just suffering in the now.
Myths vary but truth is universal.
I believe teh true god is the un-name-able.
I love food, meat and fruits and vegetables. I give thanks to the One who gives us life and energy for our bounty.
I don't like hate or prejudice or pain.
I accept the destructive forces as necessary to balance the planet and cosmos,
but I grieve the passing of leaves and lives and I try to dwell in and on the light.
I think the end of late fees was a great mistake for Blockbuster as a corporation and I wish I had bought some Google stock the second it was first offered.
I believe the interwebnets has us all thinking differently.
Closer to collective consciousness.
I wish people would always use their turn signal.
I think the war and the foreign policy is a mess and I fear for the future.
But then I remember that God is in control and that the design of the universe and the plans of the creator are a process and they must unfurl the way that was set out
long ago.
I drink Tecate and I think beer is a gift from God.
Just don't drink too much.
I wish to see things more clearly.
