Semi-Daily Scribbles

Tuesday's Meditation:

I often wonder if we humans are interested in achieving a state of peace and perfect balance. Turmoil propels what is profitable and newsworthy. Does my good turn or kind word even create a ripple against the tide of conflict? I think a lot about it; try to live it, but I'm not much of a peacemaker. Is it because I don't want to come across sounding (looking…tasting?) like a granola? Hey, I'm the product of a liberal arts education. What do I care about image? Brand? Stamp of Approval? I should be all about love and higher consciousness and being the champion of the under-represented. Shouldn't I? Chances are, after lunch of course, I'll hop back into fantasyland and apply my virtuosity at clunky prose and sloppy guitar chords. That should ensure my rightful nomination for a Nobel Peace Prize.
