We are crushed. We are crushed by our daily lives. Afflicted by the middle-aged and the middle-waged. Stop. Caring. Stop loving. Watch as community passes you by. Watch. In our homes we sit with the blue glow of the T.V. Doped by an evening beer. Buy more, buy, buy, buy! Captured by the consumer in you, captured by your inner need to purchase. Captured by the world of dust! Where? Gone, oblivious, caught in the web of desire. The spider of greed is descending upon you.
Open your eyes. Open your heart. Listen. Can you hear others? Or are they so doped that they can’t speak? Lost their voice. The battle is over. The blind walk the earth, owning it, the meek shall inherit it. When? When. Captivated. Blind now you see. Never saw, never see. Life. Spirit. Do you know? Have you touched it? Hardly. If you had your life would not be consumed by seeking it in status, in matter. You cannot be greater than yourself by owning. Poison. Shudder. Shock. A glaring multitude of eyes. Your vision’s gone, it’s always been.
Kristen and i moved Kristen into the apartment last night. But not without the help of five other people. it was a herculean feat and Nathan pretty much gets Augean Stable points for driving the U-haul.
