COVID diaries - day unknown: the cure!
and still the controversy - who is right, who is wrong? WHO in my opinion has excluded themself on the basis of guilt by association. i might as well go all the way down the rabbit hole and just say exactly how i feel. after all, coming to this venue occurs by choice (unlike the Hitler-esque mask conspiracy). just this week a co-worker was dismissed where i work. not because there has been a sudden spike in cases, but because his defiance deflated the rule of the house - he became an example. isn't that exactly what is taking place on a much larger scale? Governor's deciding to "amend" Constitutional law - decide which rights their citizens have? if you can't see the underlying theme to the "lockdown", then i truly feel sorry for you when/if sanctions occur that actually tread on principles you deem sacred. i try to wrap my head around the fact that i can go to the dentist - face to face within a very close proximity - and yet i cannot get a haircut. i can go in the liquor store but can't enter the sanctuary of my church? seriously? how complacent - weak - sheep submissive to the facsimile of a shepherd. have we forgotten the reason this nation was formed? retaliation to tyrannie? oh i know you will argue. the masks are for "those" that may be compromised from interaction with "those" that are asymptomatic. newsflash - how about remain in quarantine if you feel threatened? perhaps you don't care for the perspective of this post.
just maybe you take offense to the point of view.
if so, i cannot offer sentiment of consolation. while i respect your right to opinion, i cannot water down the truth of my conviction with statements of perceived accommodation. hyperbole - as much as treason - disallowed!
conceived only in thought,
never transcending the boundaries of reality?
God.
simply defined: A being conceived as the perfect, omnipotent, omniscient originator and ruler of theuniverse, the principal object of faith and worship in monotheistic religions. (MW).
for purposes of this post - a rather generic definition.
St. Anselm reasoned "God" into existence.
René Descartes supported the concept of a divine deity.
The King James version of the Bible mentions God 3,892 times.
in casual conversation - the word "God" is apparently evident - attached to such common words as: (God)bless -
(God)almighty -
(for God's) sake...
often used to accentuate extreme feelings of frustration or anger when assigned partner with condemnation.
and as you ponder the purpose for this particular post,
allow me to retire for the night.
whatever the reason that brought you to this auditorium -
regardless your justification for clicking on this link -
for at least 5 minutes i was able to turn your thoughts to something other than your current battle.
even if you slam the door and scamper back to your perspective abode of opinion,
the concept of God(creator) entered into the realm of your supposition.
if from this brief intermission, contemplation occurs, then my effort justified...

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. [Matthew 7:7-8King James Version (KJV)]
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. [Matthew 7:7-8King James Version (KJV)]
poem
i long to be the - oh -
the - wow -
exhilarating gasp of - awe,
in an otherwise quiet room!
to be that -
suspect,
that -
even remotely - considered.
to be -
consumed -
as breath -
entering in -
and back out again.
unassuming,
yet essential -
inasmuch as believe,
to dream...
you are that -
Deity -
on which i hang
(effortlessly)
my hope.
demagogue to champion compassion.
and i -
your willing martyr!
