Yet nobody seems to understand what I’m saying much less how to pull it off.”—Lao Tzu The point being: repentance and awakening or whatever you call it is both easy and impossible. It’s clear yet obscure. The only way to see it is to stop trying. The way to grace is to abandon meritorious works and then overflow with desire to serve. One of the possible hindrances is the folks who are the official representatives of the institutions that sell enlightenment. It starts by reflecting the moments of enthusiasm when seeing something brilliant, a glimpse of a little beatific vision, but then becomes frustrated by daily life, and yet is buoyed by hope that ultimately all will return to the source of the vision. https://www.taosurfers.com/poetryandessays/2019/12/17/before-the-fire-consumes-us-all monthly 0.5 2020-09-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a19425be42d6b94b859dfd/1599548988394-APSJWMV7KM6TPJO2S1QW/image-asset.png Poetry & Essays - Before the Fire Consumes Us This is a map of wildfires in California when this was posted.

It is receptive. It is mystical in the sense that it receives the grace already present instead of applying too much force. It is gospel rather than law to use a category of Lutheran theology. It is making use of reality, of the forces that already exist, instead of swimming desperately against the current. This was written on a day when we were translating Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching chapter 10. Here’s a section from that: Can you lovingly lead people, instead of trying to control them? Can you open and close the door to heaven like a woman giving birth? Can you bring light to others, instead of worrying whether they might never be enlightened? https://www.taosurfers.com/poetryandessays/2019/12/17/happy-hollidays monthly 0.5 2019-12-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a19425be42d6b94b859dfd/1576777757155-BKL9FITDH85H2A31IGWF/IMG_0147.jpeg Poetry & Essays - Our Favorite Holiday (Poem) This poem reflects on gender roles and feasts, and the archetypes involved in these traditional meals. It also ponders whether we can’t sometimes put our liberal guilt to rest for a bit and receive blessings as the gifts they are. Here, I’m doing the one thing the dude is traditionally supposed to do… cut into something someone else prepared over a long morning, and get the glory for a blessing not his own. An ethicist named Stephen Webb thinks it’s significant that the Christian Eucharistic feast is vegetarian. He writes: “Meat not only reflects and upholds class distinctions; it also creates gender differences … sacrificial rituals serve to distinguish the roles of men and women by putting male priests in charge of the rituals that ancient people thought did the most to uphold social and even cosmic order. Throughout history men almost always have been in charge of the meat. This continues today, as any barbecue will demonstrate. Cooking meat on a fire, as with the ancient sacrifices, is a male-dominated activity. Killing animals was thought to be not dissimilar to going to war, and cutting meat involved the use of dangerous tools and knives.” Good Eating (Brazos, 2001). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a19425be42d6b94b859dfd/1576778330633-ADURW93DBRAWH4US6ZAG/IMG_0139.jpeg Poetry & Essays - Our Favorite Holiday (Poem) This family picture is funny.
