give me dirt roads and wooden gates anyday
Give me a dirt road any day!
7:29 AM - give me a wooden gate anyday
Current mood: awake
Why would "god" create such beauty and then seek to destroy it in it's "armageddon" That just does not sit well with me. I don't like the feeling of seperation that was created by my christian leaders that this world is just temporary. This world is ALIVE, Gaia, earth spirit, mother nature is real and here and now. i can see the individual trees at the top of Palomar Mountain from my kitchen window. That mountain is the result of a live and energy filled world. How dare "they" teach that this is not our real home and that its just a resting place until the "lord" comes and takes us to the pearly gates. Fuck the pearly gates, give me a wooden gate any day and a dirt road and a home made with a connection to the world surrounding it. a gorgeous view framed by every window in the house, the positioning of the house to coordinate with the path of the sun, I don't want to send up lumber to a place far away, I want to build my life here and now. I don't want to focus on the "hereafter" I want to enjoy and bask in the NOW, not what happend 2,000 years ago and who did what for sinful ways. I want to be thankful for today. I don't want to fullfill some distant gods will for my life - I want to experience my own will, my own purpose, me! How dare they teach us that we are born "sinners" and evil and that we have to fight our ownselves to overcome what their god created. Why would he create such an evil group of people and such misery and heartache, what kind of god is that. what a load of crap that teaching was.
I wish I would have spent more time with my kids showing them the glory and beauty of their lives today in the world we gave been so freely given. I wish I wouldnt have pounded this crap into their heads, I wish I would have taught them more about this world and less about that fantasy of heaven. I wish I would have taught them to accept themselves as they are and to enjoy the beauty of their bodies and their thoughts and energies instead of stifling them and placing fear and inhibitions in them. I want them to experience the here and now. To seek out truth and not to fear curiosity and exploration of themselves.
I had a dream the other day about one of my ex pastors/teachers, I got the chance to tell him what I thought of his teachings and how they stifled real growth. I guess i was yelling at him and woke jojo up. I felt so good when I woke up, I remember everything word I said, what a release.....
I don't hate christians, if it works for them then I am happy for them, I dont hate churches - I think they fill a need for people who are unwilling to face who they really are and accomplish a lot of good in the community. I do dislike, however, that they force feed their crap on others, I wish that alternative groups would organize well enough to provide to the indigent, weak and needy. To encourage personal responsibility for their world and their actions. Maybe some day I will start my own "chruch" now that I have been a certified teacher of religous studies for over a year now.
I am hoping to learn from the natives that live on the other side of the river to expand my knowledge of the world that I live in NOW. Well that is enought rambling for today.
