I was very fortunate to be allowed to tag along with Maggie, Throop and their friends. Debbie went on a PP bus with her niece and Joey, all the way to DC.
So let me tell you a tale...... on the way to Canterbury...... this tale will be told on future such journeys.
It is the tale of a Princess, a Footmann, a Scribe and a Shaman..... going to visit King Arthur and Queen Melania in their castle. Well, you will not object if I mix the best possible number of metaphors..... King Arthur has the glass slipper and the Footmann brings the Princess. The Footmann also brings the Scribe, just to record the festive occasion. And, for good measure, the Scribe brings the Shaman.
Yes, it is a magic slipper... not unlike Aladdin's lamp, as long as the Princess is wearing it. So there we are, in the Castle. The King has made a wish, and is about to slip the slipper on the foot of the Princess. Just for the record, I interrupt to ask the King what he is wishing for. He states that, for starters, he wants to build a Casino addition to Shangri-La. Hmmm....... then what? Well, he'll let us know when he sees how the Casino turns out.
But, you see, I have a bit of magic of my own..... a scrying stone. I can scry angels playing craps. I doesn't quite look right. But how do I warn the King? I'm just a reporter, especially in the eyes of the King.
Scrying stone....... how about Sham? The Shaman (sometimes) tells me that the world's not broken, so we shouldn't try to fix it. Ok, do I tell that to the King, or should I just leave well enough alone, knowing that it will all work out, in the end. This is Sham's counsel.
But almost everyone thinks the the world is broken, and they keep trying to fix it.... to improve it.
In point of fact, almost everyone would agree that, for the last four hundred years, at the least, we have been improving the world with our technology...... https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/21/opinion/sunday/why-2017-may-be-the-best-year-ever.html
And, furthermore, sports fans, the Footmann had already employed the slipper-Princess combo-pack to help the King win his throne..... it's called manipulating the Vectors. So who needs a Scribe or a Shaman? We would just be the party-poopers for the PtB.
Sham says we should just go with the flow. No sudden moves. But Don seems to be full of sudden moves. It's ok if the sleeping dog twitches whilst chasing rabbits in it's sleep. But, if, per chance, you should awake, you should only play the spectator. Anything more would just be tempting fate.
Now we see why this has to be a team effort.... why, for instance, the Scribe cannot be the King. The King's job was to prepare folks to be awakened. He had to stir the pot. His job was to increase the flow rate. And I can attest to his preliminary success. You go, Don.
The Global Spirit is moving faster than ever before. Thanks largely to Don, bless his heart.
Now, we can just sit back and drink the Tea. Yes, Sham?
Further, I suspect the Footmann manipulated the Vectors to get the Princess, Skaizlimit, Falcon and Scribe all on the same page.... a real technician, he. I just pretend to move the Shaman Vector.
Arthur wanted to know why those of us who showed up, yesterday, couldn't play the Electoral College as well as he did..... sore losers.
I'm guessing that all of these machinations have something to do with personalism, or, mainly with story telling. Who doesn't love a good story, and why can't we have a Metanarrative, after all? But isn't the Scribe supposed to write the story, not be in it, too? Isn't that slightly overdone? I really do apologize to Sham, but he doesn't accept my excuses and rationalizations. Look, I'm just a former drip, under pressure. Can't I be the antihero? Isn't that postmodern enough?
And, besides, folks are expecting an antichrist, they just didn't expect the antichrist to have two masters degrees in physics. I mean, really, now, isn't that a bit silly? But is there a law against God employing clowns? Can't Sham let the show go on? Don't we all have to work?
