Easter

.
Easter morning and the thought left me laughing out loud:

Don't do what you can do. Do what you can't.

For example, no one can be enlightened.

Do it anyway.

Once upon a time, I was stronger than things. Nowadays, they are stronger than I am. And some smiling, gently-ridiculing voice asks, "And your point is...?" Woven into the question, as a good friend might weave a joshing sarcasm, is an easy but emphatic, "d'oh!" with the implication that there are more interesting topics to pursue ... admiring beautiful women or skinny-dipping in summer or, well, damn near anything.

Academics discuss music. The rest of us merely bask and delight and 'become' and ARE.

Don't do what you can do. Do what you can't.

Do it anyway.

Any asshole can be resurrected.

Do what you can't.

  1. Adam,

    Your post reminds us of the rich young ruler. Your love of your wealth keeps you from approaching your enlightenment. Any asshole can make Jesus jokes.

  2. As a matter of curiosity, "anonymous," what makes you think I was joking?
