Wisdom?
Wisdumb
D – U – M – B wisdumb
Jesus, you never give anything a break . .
.
. Nonot while it occurs to me it ought to occur to you to me it seems
What seems to you tends to be a bit unseemly.
Bit Right on Were back to where we
were Whas the serenity bit
Cryinoutloud. The serenity bit, as you call it, is God grant me the serenity to accept
the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the
wisdom to know the difference.
Bingo Thats
it One correction
You can’t correct an established quote. It’s Reinhold
Niebuhr, he described Christian realism, the sinfulness of man, freedom of man,
and, take a breathe, the validity, the utmost seriousness of the great
commandment.
Theres a great commandmentgreater than the tenamong
the ten
Well, to be fair, from Matthew and Mark, the
Old Testament . .
. . Now yer talkin . .
.
.Please don’t interrupt if you’d like this conversation . . wherever it’s
going, I haven’t a clue, you never leave clue, you’re the bird eating the bread
crumbs Hansel and Gretel dropped to be able to escape the woods . .
.
. They didnt . .
.
. Don’t interrupt. As I was saying,
Mark and Matthew from the Old Testament . .
. . Amen . .
.
. You’re incorrigible . .
. . I ammiddle name . .
.
. Please you exasperate me . .
.
. Youre not alone . .
.
. And that’s why so many people think you're lonely . .
.
. Nope Others mistake lonely with
loneliness an alone I may be aloneby myself but Im not lonely Far from it
Should I continue. Talking with you is like
weaving, weaving by hand, very slowlytime consuming.
Life consumes time
We could die simultaneously thenperhaps on some other side sides converse an not waste Times time
How about we stay in the fleeting present and get to your bit?
Please Continue Ill try and resist myselfbut Im a pain in my asses too
Can you sit on just one of your several asses and continue?
Lets give it a go IllHA try an hold the reins as you deliberate on Reinholdthe great commandment
As I was saying . .
. . Before you were rudely interrupted
Yes.
a smile despite herself worked across her face Yes. Before I was rudely interrupted.
he returned her smile Just fuckin with ya
We can have at that later.
I like where this conversation is leading
Incorrigible. As I was saying . . . she paused he didnt interrupt she waited he waited
You were saying
she laughed I suppose I just interrupted myself . .
. . You did
Oh man. The great commandment. Old Testament. Matthew, Mark. You love God with all your heart and soul, with all your mind. Then. Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself.
I’m trying to keep it brief.
Youre briefing meI didnt know any of that
So now you do.
I do My correctionamendment
Okay. Correct, amend Niebuhr’s respected quote.
His Christian realismbut you have to buy into Christianity religion God to hold it updare say let it endure or endure it as some kind of dogmaWha would a dog do if chasing down a car they caught it Bark Its all so much bark identifying with a pack And theres so many packs
My correction amendment is I think I have it now that you recited it Gods grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot changethe courage to change the things I can an the wisdumb to know the difference
I dont think I need to rely on one god to call bullshit bullshit
I have my own serenity have my own mind Everyone does So why the mindfulnessthe apps god gods Why not settle down and understand the whole thing is within uswithin our power
Why this constant consistent niggling hanging our faults on god gods the worlds fall guy If I were godnot that he exists Id hold so many feet to the fire that itd smell downwind like a good oldfashioned Santa Maria barbecue
An you know what
I’m afraid I don’t. Though you may not surprise me.
Because you know me too well An you tolerate me
You forget, I love you.
You do I love you
The good oldfashioned Santa Maria barbecue
Yes.
Id eat
Im not surprised.

Esalens Serenity prayer: I do my thing you do your thing. I am not in this
world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up
to mine. You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other(groovy), it’s beautiful. If not, it can’t be
helped. Fritz Perl
