Extending the unlucky 'I am in the pod' story of December, looks like my cousin did another Job's job by presenting the pod for my daughter, this time.
As you try to educate kids and give them a sense of social balance - well, the world is not social but it could be, it's just that some always want more and that necessarily must be cut off from others - there are some people who simply don't seem to get that humans do not necessarily need to get down to their level of 'making a difference' by separating. Separating one from the other by differentiating by what you 'have. And what they have not overcome, they try to get other people into. Sometimes, not so rarely, by acting as if they just would 'do good'. So as they define themselves by what they 'have' (not what they are), they try to trigger same in others. And give them a good portion of trouble with that. Acting on the most vulnerable spots is the tactics.
But what do we 'have'?
Certainly not more than what we have left when everything breaks down. Want to believe it or not, every thing decays at a point which is not self-re-creating itself from out of itself. For that it needs creative powers. Cutting powers only can cut. Cut, cut off, separate, 'analyze' (translate the latter and you will get it. Analysis is good ... if it serves to bring together, to synthesize, the cut-apart parts into something creative and new). Creating is bringing together for something new, for building, synchronizing formerly single elements so that together they form up a new existence. In best case, the latter causes continuous re-creation. A cycle of life.
What is it, then, what we have, when things are separated to the very end? All we have and all we can take with us in a worst case scenario is what we have developed. Inside. What is outside, none of us can carry with him or her. Neither nice clothes nor belongings nor goods we can keep with us. All will rot, all that is material will fade as it got no substance in itself. It looses it's energies until nothing will be left over, and sometimes involve a whole lot of destruction in between. Fission at it's best.
Am I wondering? Certainly I am not. Where humans lack creation inside, they will also try to form up their environment accordingly. They show 'good' to the outside as they are socialized like that, outsidely, but ooops, they 'only wanted good' and didn't mean the effects they have caused. My cousin certainly also only wants that. There must be good reason why her (sole) daughter wants to be a psychologist one day. I hate this kind of 'doing good' by sowing material wishes and envy in others who in principle are far away from that. Wish these people would not try to do 'good' by bringing people apart. But that is how they work.
A recent conversation in the public transport on the way to work. One young man, complaining about all those predefined functionalities in the apple gadgets. Discussion about that today you have to pay much more to get electronics where you still have some choice to define how you want it to work. The other young man, joking: 'why don't you just give yourself over to imposed immaturity?' I can tell you, those boys made my day. They got it.
In this sense, putting hopes into the new new generation while wondering how they will be able to make it with the load passed on by the generation before. Consuming is no life style. Consuming without taking care that the environment also will survive and that next in time have a fundament, chance (and right) to make a living, too, is worthless. No hulls and pods around can hide what we developed underneath. One day, we all dance naked.
In this sense, enjoy a nice celebration of what is 'coming up from the East'. Easter, or in the same ethymology, 'Ostern' (that what comes from 'Osten', well, simply translated as East).
A fire coming from the East is, literally, not as unthinkable as we might want to think. Carpe Diem ... or che(r)rish the day.
You can also light yourself a nice fire. The best fire is still the fire burning inside which does not perish and is not suffocated by pods around.
Or choose the shell, a mollusk clamped to the ground, never moving from its place unless it is swirled away by other forces. We are as free as we have never been before.
ALL is our choice.
Happy Easter.
Love,
Lyn

| Easter fires are still - or again - very traditional in many places in Europe especially in the Alpes |
