My mind tends to move too quickly, as I find myself scattered and pulled in multi various directions. I'm not complaining or maybe I'm in denial, it's difficult for me to focus and lately my confusion at all the world's chaos has expanded faster than my intellect will allow. What that means I haven't a clue, and as I explained to an email pal; with my mind whirling, twirling, spinning and turning, I feel as though I emerged from a fabricated worm hole in a time machine created by some discarded mad scientists, and which functions more like a paint shaker on a jumping centrifuge.
A very dear friend of mine, (who just posted a great blog) has a son (Todd) who has an autistic spectrum disorder. I'm now fully aware and amazed at how positive he always is. It seems difficult to be both intelligent and happy, (or is it? maybe I just make it difficult) or perhaps it is my ego that I allow to become an obstruction to seeing that another viewpoint might be a better path to the sacred joy of unconditional love. I often wonder of the thoughts, trials, and tribulations that run through the current of Todd's mind, and I find myself surprisingly deeply envious of him, because he's always so damned happy, oblivious to all the corruption in the world. Everywhere he goes he greets strangers with such a kind openness that most people would only, and not often enough, extend to close friends and relatives. Sophistication serves little good if it overshadows the simple pleasures in life. Dwelling on too much negativity beyond one's control and choosing misery as a primary companion is not smart. So I must ask, which is better - living under a dark cloud of the "delusion" that all the world's violent chaos has rendered one's life unbearable, or smiling all the time and greeting people in sincere innocent joy, stopping others into returning the smile? Of course the answer is obvious, which begs the question: Who is the one being controlled?
I'll let you do the math.
