Thankfully enough, even as mired we are in a miserable mix of polluted air and water and thoughts. as deep we are into the miasma of fetid swamps of madness and corruption, spotted, after deep inspection, are the plants and buds of hope and sanity. One can see in scattered corners and amongst crowds of weeds, a bright bud allowing hope to penetrate the darkness before us. These lucky aberrations are hope in sufficient number so as to give us encouragement - hopefully soon, please make it so, and we will be able to toss off the cloak of truth denial and reclaim our world. Newspapers, newscasts, the myriad talking heads of media, will realize what they are doing, have allowed, even encouraged it, and will take steps into the light, to remediate and rehab.
False or misleading track signals will be recognized as such, cleared away, and the proper signals will come through. Realign the tracks. and clear the way for the electorate to move forward. Toss off the ugliness of our times and finally, completely internalize the responsibilities we own and in turn, own us. Light bright and strong, enthusiastic and contagious, is returned to the light of day and new faith in the promise of mankind steps out, loud and proud, well enwrapped in the folds of truth and justice, of hope and care, carrying within hearts and souls a fierce desire to better this world. To disavow the lies of the past and step out proud, desirous and determined to do better, to know the difference between hostages and prisoners. To loudly proclaim the truth of it all. And to celebrate a return to a childhood, albeit for a short period of time.
Proudly, Jews have the integrity to acknowledge their role in the unfolding of the game board of Action and Reaction, of even trade meant to uplift this nation of ours. Long of this world, the understanding that consumers often morph into either spectators or participators, with a revived societal acknowledgement, and share it, all the pain and disillusionment, along with the hopes and dreams, and somehow manage the crisis and reformat it, redirect it, to a newly cleared track.
With this new dawning comes the revaluing of mutual sharing and concerns. No more talking heads. but working arms. Reaching out to both hug and/or to push aside as useless and detrimental to true progress. All must be retracked properly and with patience. Out of the morass of mud and filth of the worst aspects of humanity, must come the best part of humanity. Then, only then, can we begin to recognize beautiful buds go forth, the rewards of honest labor, for recognition of the humanity of all. Only then will we be able to push back all the garbage that has assailed us for too long.
A new faith in mankind will be seeded, nourished and will grow beautifully, providing goodness and beauty, give way for a renewed trust in fellow beings. A magical, close to extinct tree a reward for the victorious trek, that slog, so difficult, and yet -so reaffirming - if we allow it to be so. If we know our power, the depth of our strength and give it room to do what must and then flourish.
There is unbelievably so still remaining a small streak of hope and faith. Faith. that mankind can truly discern and separate good from bad and build on that knowledge. Complete the growing circle with parallel deeds.
Relight the candle of faith. A small flame so desirous of growing, glowing. We can feed that flame, if we wish to.
That is for
...on the morrow.
