Thou Art A Soul In Bliss; But I Am Bound Upon A Wheel Of Fire.


Here's a clip of Pamela Wilson, who speaks lowly and slowly and is obviously totally spiritual, talking about "coming home". The story she tells of seeing Yo Yo Ma doing a duet with a bird is a great one. I suppose what's she's talking about could possibly be called "The Zone". We've hopefully all been in The Zone at least once, and it rocks; it is life, fitting like a custom-made glove. The Zone can be described as being naturally hyper-aware, effortlessly interacting with great efficiency and creativity with whatever is happening - just going with it - with no resistance or apparent separation, and very little thought. It's an admirable state, and one probably worth cultivating, if cultivating it is indeed possible.
Well, I take no issue with Pamela Wilson no matter how veggie and into meditation she may be. However, it's all The Zone. It's tempting to berate ourselves every time we seem to plod along in our story, full of resistance and resentment, separate above all, wishing things were different than they are. But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what twists and turns the story takes, or how completely absorbing the world of the separate, disconsolate, discontented mind may seem. It's all The Zone; whatever it is, is oneness in the fascinating and multifaceted guise of separation. Oneness doesn't care if there is apparent separation. Oneness is, whether it is appreciated (by itself) or not. So don't despair of never reaching some higher plane, some "better" state of being; or do despair, if despair is what is there. In the story, whatever seems to be will surely change. Whatever this is, it is wholeness, perfection, The Zone; and you are whole, complete and perfect just as you are, for you are The Zone. You can't be anything else. You are.

Yes, she sounds very confused. Perhaps she meant the End Zone, which is a place on an American football pitch. That's actually the safest place - anywhere else you might get bulldozed by a man in a robocop outfit.

Ahhh....

Don't you love hippies?

Gorilla, I'm watching American football pitch (don't know what that is) right now. The Dallas Cowboys just scored six points by going into the Carolina Panthers' end zone. Pretty sure that's not what she had in mind.

Say, Suzanne... did you and the moon have tea yet?

Hi Gorilla, Mike and Lune! Just watched Notre Dame making terrible use of their end zone. "Coming home" to South Bend isn't all it might be, but speaks volumes about nothingness. And I've been so busy, I missed my appointment with the moon!

Oh, you were in the States? Notre Dame, huh? Yeah, I thought they might amount to something this year, too.
