Dancing out the Flames … (01/08/2018)
A wise man once crooned, “If this is to end in fire, then we shall all burn together.” And indeed, this is the most poignant & inescapable Truth of all poignant & inescapable Truths — that once the wispy-thin house of cards that the wealthy have built with our gilded dreams collapses, and once the current very-real climate shift reaches a velocity most terminal, and once the neocons & the neolibs & their mass media minions finally succeed in bringing global xenophobia to a slavering & fevered pitch — then, my friends, we will all indeed burn. And make no mistake about it, I will be right there with you — holding all of you close as my dear brothers & sisters; watching with great sadness as our goodness smokes & burns; watching with great indignation as our species’ glorious potential destiny turns to ash.
AND YET it isn’t too late to turn the tide … It isn’t too late to give what little we have to those in need — and thereby show the wealthy The Way back from the wastelands of their callousness & their greed … It isn’t too late to go vegan for both the animals & the planet we share with them — and thereby show all climate-change deniers The Way back from the purgatory of their corruption & their ignorance … It isn’t too late to reach out to Muslims & conservatives alike with bold acts of Kindness — and thereby show the hate-hardened zealots of all religious faiths The Way back to compassion & Love.
My Friends, it is not too late for each of us to boldly do our part to dance the Dance of Togetherness — and thereby douse the growing flames of impending calamity.
I have already started dancing …
Won’t you dance with me?
“We’ve got to dance like nobody’s watching, and Love even while being hurt. We’ve got to sing like everyone’s listening, to make life into Heaven on Earth … And those who choose to dance this dance will be thought to be insane by those who choose not to hear the music, and yet the dancers will be the sane ones – and those who judge them will pass on deluded and alone.” ~ via William W. Purkey & Friedrich Nietzsche
