Finale has a
most definite ring---sort of like a curtain falling with accompanying
light-Show is over---back to routine.
So, there seems
to be a new set of lights that can be seen by those who remain in the audience.
There is much
to be gained in the morning reading I am partner to with my husband David.
Real
stuff----deep stuff--now into:
THE GENE, by
Siddhartha Mukherjee---a wondrous piece by a medical innovator and investigator
of the gene and all of its implications for many generations as told through
the author's family's health history.
Reason has come
into its own---finally putting the "feeling reign" into its
place- (up there somewhere)---speculation now succumbs to plausible thinking:
refreshing and truly informative.
There is much
to be said about choice of parental partners!
Living in
Israel has allowed me to understand why the world in general can be said to be
in a foul mess! Political mess, that is.
It also allows
me to wonder about the lack of socialized medicine in he United States, a heavy
factor in our choice to return to Israel.
Born to the
rich variety of New York City, I am a native snob! Born an American Jew, I was
not made to feel out of place as I do here in Israel.
There is much
material development here; money from abroad is and has been plentiful.
The mentality
beyond the material profit has scarcely been developed.
Today in our
Yoga class, there was mention of the day being a holiday: Christmas. The
instructor jumped a day ahead --this group will not be meeting tomorrow. There
was some surprise as he went on saying that he was Christian, Muslim, and
Jewish. I smiled. I am removed from all of it!
It is time to
allow for reason to overtake feelings of faith---or at least to take equal
billing.
Along with
ongoing, horrifying starvation in Venezuela, I witness imposed starvation
of healthy ideas to be fed to our next generations.
It is time
to renounce religion and its thwarted pronouncements. Reason can stand
alongside of emotion----the two are not mutually exclusive.
It is time to
hallow Alain de Boton and Sam Harris and other true thinkers who are believers
in the possibility of life being a truly satisfying experience for all
human beings. It is time to brush religion out of the air---out of our hair---and
into a new dustbin--- and a new and separate trash receptacle.
There is no
time to lose----
Even the word
"politics" is disturbing to me--all inclusive of ----what? I ask.
Keep reading
the real stuff----keep making your minds clean---what can each of us do before
kicking off?
Looking for
solutions, MISS RHEINGOLD
