Orthodoxy. By: G.K. Chesterton

"But the new rebel is a skeptic, and will not entirely trust anything. He has no loyalty; therefore he can never be really a revolutionist. And the fact that he doubts everything really gets in his way when he wants to denounce anything.

For all denunciation implies a moral doctrine of some kind; and the modern revolutionist doubts not only the institution he denounces, but the doctrine by which he denounces it. As a politician, he will cry out that war is a waste of life, and then, as a philosopher, that all life is waste of time.

A Russian pessimist will denounce a policeman for killing a peasant, and then prove by the highest philosophical principles that the peasant ought to have killed himself. The man of this school goes first to a political meeting, where he complains that savages are treated as if they were beasts; then he takes his hat and umbrella and goes on to a scientific meeting, where he proves that they practically are beasts. In short, the modern revolutionist, being an infinite skeptic, is always engaged in undermining his own mines.

In his book on politics he attacks men for trampling on morality; in his book on ethics he attacks morality for trampling on men. Therefore the modern man in revolt has become practically useless for all purposes of revolt. By rebelling against everything he has lost his right to rebel against anything."

Sadness, and yet, doesn't that resonate?

 Burning it down just isn't an option anymore, unless, it's in a YouTube video!

Passing

To Live and Love. To surrender and yet maintain your individual brilliance, well, to me, this is Life. Life that deserves more than just excuses or explanations, but a Life lived out loud deserves Love. And what could be better that that? Joy. Pass it on..

The universe

dis·tance / noun (1) An amount of space between two things or people. "I bicycled the short distance home" - synonyms: interval, space, span, gap, extent; length, width, breadth, depth; range, reach.

Which leads me to this: Around us all(I hope) are people and places of comfort, and yet, if you're in a desert place, distance(s) can be shortened as your need allows you to acknowledge it more fully. Me though, I just need a heads up so I can send a ticket and traveling expenses. 'tu capisci?'

Seeing

With the new day, The Lord refocuses my reality: "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Ancestors

Often in families, blended and otherwise, there are always those moments when you're tested beyond breaking, and sometimes, you break! Me, I had one of those today, and yet, even without a proper debrief, what I know to be the truth changes not: It's not about my comfort, nor is it about my way, but what it is about is His Word, and that says to persevere and believe.

Love requires more than just wanting to be recognized as a one with a need! Love requires giving more than you yourself deserve..

Just saying(s)

Contained within the sea of humanity, are actual humans after all! Some, truly seeking to see and be seen by others, and for me that's sad(ness).

For in the Joy that releases all Love and Passions, there's no reason for the peacock parade, and yet, I'm guessing we'll never learn that lesson until it'll matter not for much. 

Like Love;

Friendship like Love, requires an intentionality. Saying that you care, and yet, not calling, or even hugging another in public, but never spending quiet time getting to know the depth of a one is really more of a surface shrug than an actual embrace!

Monica Denise

Oddly enough, the beauty of loving a Woman is lost in the confusion of lusting after her outer self. Me, I just prefer to reach much deeper within the humanity of a Woman, which is her true self after all.

PS

Often Charlotte, I think the hardest part with being a one who can get it done completely, are those who seek to deflate your Joy, for their lack of verve and heart for service. Weird for sure. And yet, be yourself nonetheless, for that's who He created after all(!)..

Lover(s)

Reality, though a harsh mistress, is nonetheless, still your friend. So like in all good friendships, apologize for the mistakes(no matter who is at fault) and Love no matter the undesired outcome..

Free Thinking

Often, in the distance that separates me from myself, my only peace is found in the nothingness of work. Not that work is free from thought(s), but at least in the pursuit of completion(s), there's that peace which comes in the between of tasks...

September

September used to remind me of Wisconsin. Free thinkers, salted beer and cold winds, but now, September just awakens in me dread. Not because my Lord isn't strong, but for the weak minds loose on the land, and all they lead under with their twisted sense of truth(theness)..
