God is Watching us Not believe in God
*****************************************

Tom Wolfe the American writersaid something to the effect that anyone who says that religion is aweful; and that it only causes terrible awful things is insane.

He said that the result of purging religion or scrubbing it away as so many modern people are doing or have done brings on depression.

So losing religion equals depression
-get religion and defeat the blues bigtime,
that is if you really get into the concepts
the good words describe

It seems weird when I hear hissers denounce mutual friends as" they just got religion" as if they hade made some huge error . I suppose it comes from the hissers pretending to be their doubting parents,, playing out a narrow spectrum of expectations, even if they are different from Mom & dad - its carpel vision, not carpe dieum

They might have meant faith
Faith is not necessarily the same thing as religion, but it can be. Re - legioning is like re -painting apply the right stuff, carefully and lovingly, coaxing a liquid uphill in order to restore.

maybe the best example of gathering to communnally share in one vast private inner moment of spiritual completeness is being in the audience when a favourire band is playing.

You really like them, everybody is singing along,. dancing or at least swaying in time, This is the sort of moment of friends and strangers all at once together that puts chills down your spine,,

We are safe , complete and detached .. we feel better,, we feel something good and real. For a moment we are in that band, we know our parts. our places and what to do next so that something wonderful can happen.

Ah yes, the spirit of creative process fortunately is an egomaniac perogative , we love to rain it down on our fellows..let it pass in, pass through and then pass beyond us..Theres more, there is always more. Lots more.

Its hard to describe the feeling of gladnes and sadness when the show is over. Even the letdown at the end of each song..we work to reach the end and then we end and can only dream of another one,, a fresh impulse to ride. And the audience slaps themselves silly hand to hand a.- tha is , applause and howl like coyotes at the end to as they disconnect and make ready for the re- connection.. yes as we all re- legion... we all believe in something, right? I wonder what that is. The performers come and go, the audience comes and goes but the art and the potential is always there,,

question is-
what is it that is so immovable,
so permanent and unfailing
that it iwill always be there ?
