Resistance? or Resistance?

There is a place so attractive

It draws both darkness and light

It is the presence of both

It holds the secrets of he worlds within its vestiges

Time itself is contained within

Curious the strain and strand attracted to it

Why so interested in the dichotomy?

Is there within the pursuer the ability to process all within its coffers?

Does this stranger know instinctively

They are approaching the holy of holys?

Are they ready for the demands found in its depths?

Can they handle the vicissitudes?

Is there any forethought of their eventuality…

Fantasy?

Hope?

a Dream maybe?

or perhaps a nightmare that they just must have?

What would could might become of them had they turned and gone another way?

How might their lives have been forever changed had they tried a different route?

How indeed might they have changed the world for the better?

I shall never forget the young man’s quickly quipped quotation –

Met him in an Nespresso demonstration at Bloomingdale’s in Brookline a few years ago

his words were very simply

“WOE TO HIM WHO HASTENS FORTH THE DESTRUCTION PREMATURELY”
He was commenting on the executive leadership of this country

His young beautify tall god like stature was troubled – could not have been more than 22…

I shall forever be impressed by the depth of his wisdom.

His prophecy referred to ancient matters buried deeply

But I wonder whether or not that proverb might have applications in daily living.
How did you treat that person happened upon in decency and in order

How did you manage their resources, freely given spiritually and materially?

Will there be a reconciliation? As the young man’s prophecy darkly promised.

When under the gaze, is one beholden to a code to resist such assault on their person, their spiritual nature, their vestiges?

Or, like the greatest of prophetic witnesses to eternal unsearchable, Jesus Christ of Nazareth

Does one simply allow the attack – and when smote on one cheek, simply turn and also offer the other cheek

And as it is written, if thy brother should offend thee 7 times – forgive him 7×7 times and allow the Divinity to balance the scales.

Is that enough for such a carnal generation?

Dare we presence the MIND to submit?

Shall it be so today?

For it is written “Vengence is MINE” Thus sayeth the most high Etherial unsearchable.

Shall we teach the children the art of resisting their own sense of violence and retaliation ?  Like the Freedom Schools of the early Civil Rights Movement –

When evil man wroughts an plots violence, good God centered men plan peace

When evil man tears down and seeks destruction, good God centered manity builds up and plants new wellsprings for a new day
