PEACE HAPPENS
This peace ~ is it deserved or spontaneous?
If anyone should say to me ~ think this thought but not that one, or wear this kind of hat, or shave your head ~ I reply it's not this or that, not achieved, not the result of some agenda.
Without justification, and moment by moment, peace happens when allowed. Time is an illusion. What is happening will be interpreted amidst constant change, along with what has happened, while what will happen might be known suddenly as in a flash of lightning.
Not clinging to anything is the way.
This might seem formidable, or unrealistic. But I have nothing to prove. While not painfully dwelling on rape, murder, genocide, you will find in my writings the doomsday machine, the inequality of the elites, the variety of religious conceits, political stupidity, the climate disaster. Your particular suffering also belongs. And I have nothing to sell.
Peace is priceless. It cannot be pursued like a frightened hare. It will not be earned by digging ditches or creating code for machines that do not share human feelings and the weight of human history. Though peace sounds like a good idea, the idea misleads. It is no more a state of being than is a statue in a park.
However this gets bandied about, the meaning will reach some readers. Even if it cannot be explained.
Peace . . .
