Ramble  

I just sat here for 10 minutes trying
to think of how to describe how uncool
all the cool people out there are,
got frustrated and then remembered
you really can just tell by seeing someone- they usually shine somehow with something much brighter than any store bought brand of coolness you wear. I guess the beats were cool in their time, the hipsters, longhairs, cleancuts- those Connected to a deeper meaning, or at least commited to a deeper search..
I have seen the best minds of this generation as well, scrambling and rambling through their own chaos, questioning all around them..looking for sense in a society where we keep building towers toward the sky, chasing an elusive future and the whisper that more money will make everything okay. Someone said to me once that we live in a spiritual wasteland, sometimes I wonder- just looking around these streets, this tendency we have to lay concrete over country fields, to cut down trees to make room for another highway-to become complacent in our living rooms watching television.
I wonder when we will begin to
see life in terms of the bigger picture, our true meaning here and now, the connectedness, oneness and higher truth we share.
Those searching know the
search is just the beginning...
