Probably won't last, but I'm going to try.
I'm a damn wreck. Only got a couple-hour nap last night, and was driven mad by all the quavering churchianity "music" droning on for lethal hours. I had to get in bed from the head and body aching. JUST as I did that the pastor came on to ask me to stand up to ask Jesus to save me.
I raised a pinky, knowing his "Jesus" is my "buddhas of the ten directions". What he doesn't know, and I do, is the jesus of the ten directions KNOWS every single heart in the cosmos and no asking ever overcomes that. Our free will is THE religion of all Infinity, and while our deeds can redound to the side of good and evil, there's no telling which comes from which or for how long.
Our intent is eternally what counts and stays counted. NOT our excuses we only call our intent. Nope. The true intent we are so prone to completely ignoring in furtherance of "good" excuses is ALWAYS what operates.
The ancients called this world "Endurance" for impeccable reasons, and maybe the biggest one was the difficulty of understanding ourselves and what is fundamentally real. Jesus, The Man, didn't have that problem, and so humans do well to remember him for, lo, these couple thousand years, and he was [is] God, big as heck, but words, names, sentient beings are really only wimpy little squiggles on pages and grunts and squeaks and drones making sound waves, NOT reality itself, NOT fundamental truth... not actuality.
So I fell asleep right when I was finally going to get to hear the people who loved Charlie speak. I kept waking momentarily to hear each and squeeze out another tear and maybe a little whimper of solidarity before blacking out again, until having to pee actually did get me back up off my bed... just in time to see Elon Musk and Donald Trump fist bumping back up there from the bulletproof viewing area.
You might even recall me telling you I was praying for them to make up, telling you that if I had to choose, I'd go with Elon, whose heart is pure. Yeah, yeah, he can afford it. Yeah, yeah, he's a damn capitalist tech bro. Yeah, yeah, blah, blah. I've had to swallow hard on some of his moves and work to understand him from the mentality of a CEO. I get it.
But he loves his country, our country, and staked EVERYTHING on us AS surely as Charlie Kirk did... well beyond what most of us even deserve.
So I love him, and I don't think there's another human who can better help Donald stand against the threats we're facing.
God heard my prayer, and please, please, everyone, let's lend them our strength.
pipe up any time....
