Help…??!!
Remember Golda Meir? Indeed, the fourth prime minister of Israel - and only the third female prime minister in the world. She also had a deliciously weird sense of humour.
This is what she once said about Moses:
Let me tell you the one thing I have against Moses. He took us forty years into the desert in order to bring us to the one place in the Middle East that has no oil!
True.
Imagine: forty years to get from Egypt to The Promised Land. The guy must have had the homing instinct of a demented squirrel - and he definitely could have done with some more burning bushes to lead him in the right direction.
In other words, some people think love will conquer all but at times some practical help can also be nice.
Even the Gods Who rule the Heavens and walk the earth - yes, the Powerful Ones Who, each day and each night, hang the sun and the stars and the moon; even They can use a helping hand, from time to time.
So, it was particularly nice to see, how the people and the priesthood in Nepal helped a young and foolish and disgraced Goddess find her way back to true divinity.
Such a pity that so many people in the West seem to beyond reason and beyond help, divine or otherwise.
In the midst of various wars, on a warming planet that’s become grotesquely polluted and overcrowded, the few remaining Westeners not engaged in burning books are saving their money to buy themselves a personal pole dancer.
(a glance at the mirror
a glimpse into my heart
makes me want
to shut up forever
so why do you lean me here
Lord of my life
lean me at this table
in the middle of the night
wondering
how to be beautiful)
