A Speck of Truth
You may believe this world has gone completely crazy. Of course you wouldn’t be alone. It’s no longer just the sensitive ones who can feel and detect the tortured soul of the collective now run amok among us. Everywhere are men and women broken and twisted by Ponzi schemes, grown fat and putrid by the prosperity gospel, armed by the Second Amendment, and fitted for a suicide vest by fundamentalism. There is no longer any way for enfeebled minds to make sense of this world, with its astounding diversity and uncompromising complexity. They simply don’t realize they’re pointing the gun at their own heads. I don’t want to escape this time or place. I am part of the present milieu. Within the violence and turmoil I detect optimism and creative energy. Life and love will continue in beings who remain vulnerable and fragile.
