if your belief system is the ultimate realization, why are there other observations of reality? why might they not necessarily see the same point of view as yours?
i stepped off the plane, it was so surreal for a moment i thought it a dream. i could smell the nearby ocean and the humidity hit me like a fetid wet rag. i had took this journey on my own because no invited would journey beyond their comfort zone. So here i was for 5 days, in a foreign land where english was the 2nd language and would become a slight barrier but I persisted.
And for 5 days I would watch and observe. My hotel room was almost as big as the house I lived in back home. I would order my dinner in room and from a corner table, I would watch the people on the beach below enjoy themselves. On the 4th night, I walked down two blocks to the circus and gawked. For awhile I forgot myself.
A friend would pick me up at the airport and as we were driving home, the anxiety started to rise. If I had the money and the time, I'd told him to turn around, take me back, and I'd disappeared into the horizon. Any where. I would recognize myself in Muriel's wedding sometime later. Finally I grew tired of eating alone and I decided to invite others to sit with me for awhile. You don't feel so lonely when you're listening to the book of life of other as self. So a food and a story helps to forget one's loneliness for a moment and you realize you're not on this journey alone. You're only alone if you want to be. Risky business.
sometime later, i would return 3 more times to my original journey. I've been to a number of different other worldly places too. I see how others as self celebrate their lives to the best of their means. I see their resiliency in the face apathy.
and like the alchemist, i finally found my treasure, my smagdarine stone. friends are like gemstones but you only find gems by giving self away. by being friendly.
come gather together for the great supper of love. share a meal, self's story and journey with other as self in communion.
