[Mb-civic] ENOUGH ALREADY!!

Hello Everyone. This is a marvelous informational International Forum which
has been provided to us all. I hope it is continued to be used wisely. This
is my first communicade. Have I addressed it properly? 

I have been reading the religious gobbledygook and philosophical fartings of
so many of you over the past few months that I have FINALLY been prompted to
ask that I be permitted to submit and place the following very small and
personal concept upon the very messy banquet table  set before us all.  ( So
many uncleared Courses...tsk-tsk..) 

First, please allow me to clear a small corner space at this Universal
Round-Table you have over time so eloquently covered with layer upon layer
of Disagreement, Fuss, Sarcasm, Plagiarism, Inner Fears, Vengeful Attitudes,
Intellectual Snobbism, Mental, Physical, Emotional and Spiritual Disharmony,
Sadness, Lack of Joy, Disillusionment, Forceful Placement of Collective and
Personal Egoist Ideologies as well as quotations of and from all and sundry
which may suit and fit a particular point but fail the over-all discussion.

Ah! After rubbing diligently with all of my Heart at this same spot, I now
see the purity of the substance and Space God has provided us to place the
parts of ourselves we wish to share with others somehow showing through.
What a Glow...

I will now place my lovely piece of fresh fruit given to me by The Universe
through a very beautiful and wise Grandmother.  It is a simple fruit which
not only bursts with delightful flavor but is nourishing and regenerative as
well. Here it is... 

" THERE IS ONLY GOD EVERYTHING ELSE IS DOGMA "

I have carried this fruit in my mind's knapsack all of my life. My Path has
taken me all over the planet and still does. 
I am fortunate in the fact that my Life Experience has allowed me to
encounter so many multi-varied peoples, places, things and ways of being
that I constantly take time and wonder at it all as I make my way through.
When I see the positive and negatives I and others experience, I try to take
as active a part as I can to positively influence the occasion, and reach
back and take another bite and am regenerated. Try it. Pare away everything
you think you know and then see what is left.

Time to end this communicade.  I hope you find it informative, interesting
and useful.  If you use your ego as a positive tool, you will.  Meanwhile, I
am going out this afternoon to a rehearsal of a musical one man show I have
written.  I will put on my warmest coat, sweater, scarf and shoes because it
is snowing outside. I will close my front door and walk down the street
breathing in the air, hopefully hear a bird ( if it is a pigeon cooing, so
be it )look up at a gray-blue sky and hopefully no Gull will inadvertently
"sigh with relief" as it passes overhead ( smile ) and try to catch a
snowflake on my tongue. Some of the grass will be green: a dandelion or two
will be welcomed and Trees will wear their thick, brown winter bark.. 

I will make sure that two things will definitely happen on my walk: The
first will be that I will in some way Thank God for all of these simple
pleasures I am being allowed to experience.  The second is that I will
intentionally smile into the eyes of the first Bi-pedal Humanoid
Carbon-based Creature  I see ...( 'Human' for short...I am such a Leo!
)...and toss as much Psychic Joy I can into their gaze just to share the
warm glow of Living Here and Now together.

As Lyle has said: " Peace " I am
