Chris, my friend, I don’t know why I came here this morning as I never look in on this place anymore, but I stumbled upon this posting of yours. My sentiments exactly, but you probably already know that. It is sad that those who need to understand this poem will not, that they will not look as hard at it – and at themselves at their own place in it – as they should. All is not lost though, friend, for there still are those with a voice, it may not be loud and strong and clear, but it is there. For the true health of humanity, and so the world, may some listen – that is my prayer.
The society itself that we have created is the sickness, is the disease; it is the destructor of physical and emotional lives, it is what brings to us unhappiness and obesity and war and homelessness and over consumption and depression and ‘left versus right’. It is the framework of society itself that must change, not solely the ‘politicians’; we should all be ‘politicians’, we should all be working towards the ‘common good’. But I doubt, friend, that many are willing,
really willing, to fully grasp the poem you presented. For myself, every day I try to pull a single nail from the framing of society from each of my patients, that in some way they may go ‘ah’ and move forward with their own personal changing of the societal frame. I see that you are still working it too, and this is good – the world needs your voice.
Stay well.
-Mark.
