[ok Snopes it’s not about the Plague] yet yes: “Ashes, Ashes, we all fall down.”
A Dance, a Carnivalesque Mardi Gras Totentanz –“no-ing and yes-ing Joel.
Intensely aware that “zero” is a reality [awesome invention: the “0.”]
Dominants’ “Zero Tolerance” zeroing out the infinite variations of human circumstance.
Military/Industrial/Political/$/ “Zero Sum Game” – It’s “Them or Us” Binarism
Lifeboat Earth “Zero Sum” resources.
In now time like this Ash Wednesday:
I/we mortals are intensely aware
Our time and space are zero sum finite
Cannot be in two places at same time
Cannot be in two times in same place
OR – [the 40 day question] can we?
Can love imagine and acting an Enough for All beyond the zero sum realities?
Can we cling to Psalm 103 BUT/HOPE “God remembers that we are dust… BUT God’s love is everlasting.”
Now Lent’s post Ash Wednesday,
A Dance rehearsal toward Easter
Zorba: “When a man is full what can he do? I got up and I danced. They said: "Zorba is mad."
A man needs a little madness, or else he never dares cut the rope and be free.”
Me: “God, teach me to dance!"
