Circling Endless

…In circles that only move forward;
it never seems to work that way for me
when I sit on a merry-go-round and spin thoughts.
I see a new patch of sky or a different tree when it stops,
but never move closer to the slide or the swingset.
Always on the same axis, at the same latitude and longitude;
but not this bizarre entity who insists on coming by when unwelcome
and taking leave while I’m still feeling hospitable.
It has an endless sky to soar and nothing, no mind, no playground, no merry-go-round
to contain it.
It chooses its speed and regardless of any natural or created notion
it perceives itself for me in
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven through 60 take-offs and landings,
And while I’m still spinning I know that it is flying.

Church: The Spiritual Pop-tart

Characteristics of the Pop-Tart:
-quick, easy, neatly wrapped breakfast substitute
-several flavors; variety
-tastes yummy and fills the tummy for a couple hours
-2 in package in case one doesn't fill completely (and then, there's always the box...)
-flashy packaging that beckons, "you're in for a real treat!"
-fruit-flavored filling, sprinkles on top for colour
-lacking nutritional value (uh oh!)
-many come to prefer it to a full breakfast

Very Interesting....

The eternal journey of Knowing Christ is most like being unplugged from the Matrix. Some, like Apoc, resist in Self and deny the freedom truth brings. These hunger after the things of Self; though they are “unplugged,” they wish their bodies reinstated to the Matrix-to error, to deception, to manipulation, to selfish ambition-and request to be “rich; someone important, like an actor.” They desire the worldly, temporal, piss-in-the-wind THINGS (outside the body, and therefore no part of what’s closely within: the Kingdom of God) and clean up after their kaka (bullshit) with their own deceptions, manufactured by (i.e.) church and pursuit of god (Self) in arenas where the dimly enlightened can reign (sounds a lot like Satan and his minions, eh?) without contest, where Self has forefront and that package deal called “Christianity.”
