Which Is to Say That Only the Stillness Will Not Disappoint Because in Makes No Promises

What is it that’s flying you away from the stillness? Have you considered where it will drop you? What is so desirable that it can tempt you away from peace? Your country is run by fools and will for the foreseeable future? It always has been. It always will be. You want something bright and shiny? Haven’t you noticed that the shine always wears off and it was never that bright in the first place?

Are you contemplating some perfect marriage to your perfect She? Have you forgotten that the only perfection to be found is in the stillness where the Word resides? What are you fighting for? What are you fighting against? Have you forgotten that you wrestle not against flesh and blood? Have you forgotten that that which is desired is the quiet where God resides? Stop waging war in your mind and simply sit still – that is the only battle worth fighting and it can only be fought by letting go. So let go. Let go of righteousness. Let go of unrighteousness. They are the same substance. Only God is good.

There is the tree again. There is the fog. There is the rain and the wet street. All things pass except for the stillness from which all things rise and all things return. Are you worried? Are you angry? Are you happy? Are you proud? Where will it drop you when you find its end? There is only one faithful love, only one perfect marriage and that is only found in settling down and sinking into the embrace of silence. What is higher than peace, O Spike? What is of more value? Ask yourself again what is worth the effort. Look at the world and ask which holds more value – the quiet or the good? You cannot right the wrongs. You cannot save the world. You cannot be happy. No one can. When there is a chance to do right, do right. When you are happy, be happy. When you can show compassion, show compassion. But remember that at the heart of all these things is the empty maw of the grave. Your self will die, and with it will die your no-self – they are not two, not one. In the end, only the Word remains and He will call again all things to One. Haha.
