On Shaving, War, Diplomacy And The Pope. Or How W. And I Are Alike
Yeah, That title doesn’t make much sense now. Just read this whole post and it might. I am not sure what I am writing even makes a lot of sense to me so maybe not.
The Pope visited the White House for a bit today. Besides enduring the 9,000 or so folks singing Happy Birthday to his ancient ass he had to suffer through a sitdown with the Idiot In Chief. He urged Bush to use “…patient diplomacy to resolve conflicts”. I’m sure he was referring to the untried diplomacy with the Iraqi’s a few years ago as well as the wartalk going on now about Iran. Diplomacy first should be the way a country goes toward conflict. Rushing headlong into war without it is just stupid. Bush should heed the old farts advice. After all a guy his age has much more life wisdom than a young whippersnapper like George.
Yesterday I shaved my winter beard and got that fresh faced spring time look going. The whole process lasted about a half hour so I had some time with my thoughts. Things have been sorta weird lately with me and I started thinking of something an older wiser man once told me. Like Bush I had full intention of ignoring his advice, and did. I was headed out to march on the White House when Georgies daddy was bombing the crap out of Iraq back in the day. An old Rainbow friend asked me not to go.
He told me that giving any energy to the wars waged was detrimental to the cause. Adding energy to already evil energy only gave that energy more to work with. Even an anti war energy would fuel the war energy and so on. When I asked him if a peaceful energy was there wouldn’t it also feed from the evil, war energy he told me that unlike bad feeding from good, good could never feed from bad.
I passed his wisdom off as some kind of senility and went ahead. Marching on the White House gave me a sense of purpose, and importance. Self importance is a bad energy in the first place so maybe he was right. Maybe there was a certain weirdness and transfer of energy after all. All things I wondered about while whacking the whiskers off and cutting my face a few times.
It made me think about this blog. How all of my anti war sentiment was possibly fueling the hate and death that our country is involved in. How while asking for peace and the return of our troops I may be adding energy to the hatred and mayhem.
Then a little while ago I realized that with my old friends advice I was again going to be just like The Evil One will be with the Popeman’s advice.
Naw!
Thats just an old guy talking spirituality. Doesn’t make much sense when we are trying to follow an agenda. Bush wants war, I want peace.
Neither of us are very good at listening.
Thats why we want to do all of the talking.
Stumble it!
