Stop the Insanity!

It just keeps feeding into that need. Almost everything feeds into that need. Faiths, praises, monies, and I know-not what continue to feed into the hunger, the ever-present hunger, the ever-present need of the need. This lecture, that book, those interviews and movies, that belief system and those explanations. The list is never-ending, the need is ever-present, and the awareness is quite painful. Yes, validation. Acknowledgement of one's value and worth. Yes, you matter. Yes, you are a somebody. Yes, the world is better because you are here. Yes, you are kind. Yes yes yes. And the power-hungry, whose need is stronger than average, exploit it to the max. And the worthless, whose need is stronger than average, fall prey without a fight. And the world goes 'round and 'round, both feeding each other, both sending out wails from the bottomless wells dug deeper than deep, confused and righteous, relentless in their stance, fearful to put down the stake and the thistle, look into the reflection in the mirror, and.....melt.  Lower the armor to the ground, undulate the body to the Mother, snuggle into Grace, and breathe....  The simple truth is that yes, you do matter. Yes, you are a somebody. Yes, the world is better because you are here. Yes, you are kind. Yes yes yes. It's just that the knowing is not out there, or with someone else. It's not found in this lecture, that book, those interviews and movies, that belief system and those explanations. It is delicately alive in the bottomless well dug deeper than deep, clear and pure, kind in its existence, vulnerable in every way, ever-ready to luminesce.
