Sunglasses....

First, you MUST listen to this.
http://www.religion-outside-the-box.com/podcast/Sunglassesandstuff.mp3

Second... reflect

Third... write down (talk...)

*talking*

stuff. yes, i totally understand
sidenote ~ I am so PROUD to have this RABBI be the spiritual leader who blessed our union...
for further discussion: why i do believe in fate!! (post to follow i spose...)

so, rabbi B says
jealous of his friend, the mobile guy, living on greyhound
almost as cool, as the brooklyn boys and their love bus
a yellow school bus
driven by friends, coming and going
and all the while
enjoying
living
running from the world
of yeshivas and organized beliefs
but seeing the real world
what Is created by Him
in all His Glory.

but i was so jealous, envious.... dreamy
what if we got a bus
first, it was this summer, last one without responsibilities
but then, those responsibilities happened
and now, its the time between the bar and the results
not to mention that i still am in disbelief that i chose
a profession that requires a bar
in which i must hope to pass
then again
i set my own bar, much higher
with full belief that i shall pass
so now, maybe that time between may be lost as well :(

well... whatever it is, why i strive for success
is to have that mobility
because
that mobility is
ultimate freedom
people who live in such a matter
most especially in todays day and world
are enlightened
or at least
in that moment
enlightened
by the presence
of G-d.

maybe that is what it means to be in the presence of G-d.
a question that Rabbi B recently posed.
i had no answer
i did not know what it meant
in the presence of G-d.
i did not know if i had felt that
because to me
in the presence of G-d
is a life long quest
but yet, people have them
how amazing for them
to free themselves so much that they are lifted to His Presence
Amazing

when you let go
of all the strings
which never cared of how high you believed
when you release the ropes
and truly fly free
then, you are in His Presence.

I have ropes, might as well be roofs.
but i am cutting them
one by one
creating my skylight
the window where
peter pan can fly in
and carry me away
to never neverland
where I can be in my freedom
and lifted to The Presence of G-d

when you travel
on a bus
making money here and there...
or finally in control of your barmitzvah fund
giving you the luxury
to trust and place your faith
in destiny

they are Buddha like
giving up everything, living on the streets of India
you must remember
what the streets of India where like
in those years centuries ago
a different life
a different name
not yet harmed
by western men
a world of virtue
and Spirit
of a completely different variety
their images and descriptions
more colors and variety
but the underlying premise
the true Love that guided them
IS His Love
He is Only One
and He is The Only One
to everyone.
believe it or not

so, back to the sunglasses
and the road trip
this is why
i believe
even those with money
and great fame and success
living in a different world
tlm calls it "the fishbowl"
ill go with that, i like it.

in the fishbowl
you can still give up the stuff
angies beauty lies in africa and the children
melissa's voice rocks the mass' minds
tammys word stirs quite a rucket
rosie is doing her thing
and sophies song and sound
is the quite wind causing the ripples

my ultimate o
would be to have
all those above
together
talking
discussing
sharing
their talents
their words
their views
working together
the committe of unity
to change this world

and how does one change this world?
you reach to the children.
you must keep the influence from corroding
our wonderful beautiful youth
and you must reach to their agents
and try get those still flipping
and you must learn to deal with those
who can not be changed
who will not be changed
and that is ok.

these are my dreams.
the reason for my stuff.
why i have sunglasses, and prescription at that.

someday
i will have stuff
which can be left
and i too may take
the biodiesel RV
and just go south
to the andes mountains
and the tip of the world.
spreading Peace
spreading Love
changing the world.
saving it, healing it
devoting to it.
