Great minds, great spirits have walked this earth (at least in the past - can’t vouch for today!) and these great ones have faced raging opposition from the establishment and other brain-dead, brainwashed fools in their time. Why would such ones come here? Did they have no choice? If not, why did they speak, write or demonstrate superior ways only to be called liars, mocked, jeered and killed? Doesn’t it make you wonder? Who were these individuals? Where did they come from? What power did they use to stand against their peers and power groups? And why would people listen to them for such a short time then forget all they ever taught? Funny thing about humans: they can be counted on to hold to ideas that don’t work and to spurn those that have a chance. Well, it’s not too surprising: humans are an indolent bunch morally and spiritually speaking. Don’t appreciate being told to shape up or ship out – better to watch TV or grab a case of beer, go down to the boat launch and go snag some helpless fish. |

When I think of the Great Spirits, I find myself floating in Native American Lore, The majesty of their explanations for the spirits of the earth and sky, and each creature, each stone, each blade of grass. Somehow, we always seek to return to the simple reasons, the stunningly perfect of small... The Great Spirits and the Great Minds have suffered for greed...a purpose that won't matter in the least when the last breath is drawn. Well written. TD |
