Morality is not Rules
Do this
Refrain from that
That is the Law
And the Law is Death
Morality happens in the wake of living
True to the Self
Apart from injury to others
Which would also injure the Self
It is those parameters within which
Soul’s true self might emerge
It is not without pain for the Self or Others
Nothing is birthed without struggle
Morality and righteousness “rightness” of a Soul
It is the answer to all of Her longings
It is Her Groove
Plato’s Groove
“Nothing is birthed without struggle” this is so true. Without struggle, there is no improvement or progress towards a better, meaningful life.
I agree wholeheartedly, Miss Evelyn.
Ah, this is an older post, reblogged? I saw that it was posted today but the comments were from February. I must not have known you then.
Does Soul have other selves? There is a lot in here. I must go and contemplate. I love it when I’m given food for thought. You’re table is abundant!
I think maybe we are divided at times seeking unity.
I remembered this when I read it. I like it, but your stuff since then has taken on such a new depth of meaning. You have grown so much. It’s been kind of amazing to watch.
Well this one is really you. I think I could probably recognize your work anywhere now. I loved this: Morality happens in the wake of living… It’s so John Lennonish. Life is what happens while you’re making plans.
Perhaps you should read some James Kavanaugh or John O’Donohue. I particularly love O’Donohue. John O’Donohue was an Irish poet, author, priest, and Hegelian philosopher. He was a native Irish speaker, and as an author is best known for popularising Celtic spirituality. My favorite book by him is “Anam Cara.” James Cavanaugh was an American Roman Catholic priest best remembered for an iconoclastic call for reform published in 1967. I have several books of poetry by him. You might like them.
You are such a scholar. Ive not read much in ten years till the last couple months. How are you after the post today? Im about to read your new one.
Sorry. I never saw your comment. I had to look back and see what I’d posted. That was a hard patch for me. I felt very vulnerable posting the 3-part thing. I’ve decided posts divided up into several parts are not particularly well received. Good to know. People read through the Reader so fast and don’t want to have to remember to read more tomorrow, I think.
Thanks for asking. Nice to know someone is watching my “emotional” back. You’re a great friend.
