JUST ANOTHER ME TIME

I just read my blog from some time ago: We are looking out there...at the problem. We need to look within. To the solution...spiritual principles. 

And my had-it-up-to-here answer is...yeah, yeah, yeah, give me a break. 

All spiritual principles are within us, have been there since before conception, will be there three days after we are dead. 

Having someone to blame...who we can rat on to someone else...works, too.

And 1,000 years after the world as we know it is no more, spiritual principles will be in the ether...waiting to be realized and released by a ready soul once again. 

I do not give  a flip about 1,000 or 1,000,000 years after all is said and done. I do give a flip that Jeff Bezos is willing to spend a half a billion dollars to float his billion dollar yacht some 100 yards, and at the very same time his Amazon announces it is upping its Prime rates. 

That to us never-minds is the outside of enough. Or, not to exaggerate overly much, is the outside of enough to this never-mind. 

I am beginning to believe that Bezos (who owns the Washing Post, which apparently needs be included whenever his name is printed) is on this earth just to piss me off. A second Amazon HQ is being built all but next door to me, and guess whose property taxes are already making like a jet plane. Not Bezos' for certain sure.

I regret I thought of that...it would not warrant a ho-hum if I found he pays less personal taxes than I do.

Enough with the rant...but I have proved I need to write first thing in the morning...by mid-afternoon I seem to have forgotten God's name. The good news...finally...that is not vice versa. God knows my name, sees my game, and loves me anyhow. I am grateful beyond imagining,.

Thank you.
