IT'S ABOUT TIME

Me. Now what? I’ve almost had

enough. At least I think I have.

There is a new avenue they’ve

added to the map… Everything

else has been there a long time:

Religion, philosophy, government,

the dirt under our fingernails, countries,

empires and wars of all kinds.

This road is long and straight as

infinity can be, and we are on it.

I think maybe its name (sorry,

but it has to be told) is LIFE!

And how stupid is that? For better

or worse, we’re stuck with it.

It’s an old idea and a trite one

at that, You have never seen me,

only the skin on my body, the one

I’ve worn my whole life, but, that’s

NOT me, I’m just a renter.

Wouldn’t you know, Quantum

Physics is churning everything up

because that’s its job. Are you ready?

This is it, this is what they’ve found:

“The Universe is a conscious being.”

The WHOLE UNIVERSE is one

thing! You knew that, name’s “I AM”

Like an infinite cloud full

of fire and ice, fully aware,

consciousness with substance

so vast it is pointless to say, as

though you could!

The defining attribute of man is Hubris.

We wallow in the few pounds of this

mud we’re made of and raise our fists

as though the great fire of eternity cares.

We are not so much as a flicker in a tiny

corner of the furnace.

The funny thing is, if you fall down and break

your crown, the only thing left will be a dim

little spark, lost in the great conflagration of God,

Himself... made of thought and love and light.

He’s watched us the whole time,

molded the dust and water, poked a

belly button in the middle and shoved

us in, turned us loose just to see what

would happen. He must like something

about us, we’re still here, sticks in

the dying mud, looking for salvation.

We are nothing more than bacteria viewed through a telescope that would put Hubble to shame.
It reminds me of a drunk guy on a plane being too loud and saying loud things like "Oh look. The people look just like ants" before someone less drunk says "they are ants. We haven't taken off yet!"
The old 'uns are the best, says one old un to another. 😀
But think of this. If the universe is conscious, has it even noticed man's greatest achievements yet? Or is it just blanking us because of our less than great achievements?
Maybe our greatest achievements are but a flicker in the dark to dustract it to look our way. I also hope that if it visits us and says "take us to your leader" that we have the sense not to take it to a politician! 😀

Lorry,
The solar system and every atom in it is so insignificant compared to the rest of everything there is, statistically, we don't even exist. We are laughable... and understand nothing... Still, I've kind of enjoyed the ride...

[Lorry]

Yes Vol. Us boys can get into some great fun while in the naughty corner of the universe! 😆

Lorry,
Trouble Schmubble... Whover decided that sex was anything other than a blessing from the Consciouss Universe should be taken out and (Okay, okayl you are in GB) introduced to a bit of fast-moving heavy metal...

Lovely to read this. Thank you for sharing. Like a conversation

[Stella Armour]

The whole universe is the only religion i follow Vol, I am a confirmed pantheist and my soul energy will never die as long as the universe exists ...

[Vol]

Stella,
It is the only way the concept of "God" makes sense. I can even make the case for the Bible within that framework... "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?"
Vol

[Stella Armour]

Quite right Vol, it has no sting ....

[Lara]

The universe is a toilet.
A tardy situation, but if we polish the s**t out of it we'll call it the throne.
Oh, and it spirals inside, too - at the touch of a finger!
Voile! (Gooseneck included, free of charge)

I guess what we need then is a super duper pooper plunger... ;-)
