Hello everyone, welcome to my blog. It is mainly an actual day-to-day journal. I recently shared a real post though, about some suffering. Some people liked the post, and some people didn't. I think some people who didn't like the post thought I was calling them a rival, but it wasn't them. So hopefully we will work that out sometime.
In this post I am discussing something else which is my excusal from the social justice movement. I know some people judged me because I did not trash all my lifelong friends from the south during the first Trump presidency. I could just keep quiet about it in the same way they accuse me of keeping too quiet about Trump, but eventually I think I will fully express how hurt I am that people were mean to me so personally for several years as my lost writing career became finalized.
I can see that I am not ready to write about it and have to let things play out as my books finally reach people as a resurrected gift for young people. I think there will still be some bullies who try to question the absence of political posts on my facebook pages. But the fact is that I took my stand over twenty five years ago and lost five careers before anyone started "speaking out" about anything. I made friends to survive and treated them well and still plan to. Only facebook's hypocritical algorithms can come between us.
Anyway, there is a conspiracy and I thank you all for participating. I pray for crowds and strangers and used to pray up "jackpot prayers" where I would reassign all the blessings requested in different contexts and ask them to be gifted to new populations. And today I thought of a new blessing which is a "prayer life jackpot," where you reassign all the requests from entire prayer lives to be given to large countries and time periods. That is a good one isn't it? Well I am a monk in the prime of my prayer timeline so I should certainly be making requests like that for the world. Think of it, a Princeton Seminary "prayer life jackpot" requested for all of China. Or an American "prayer life jackpot" reassigned over the next millennium.
"You can't do that," say some people. I believe I absolutely can, and all it takes is a question and heart attitude to change any magical thinking into the most effective of prayers.
Anyway, what was I saying before that. It was about how nothing I did was good enough for the liberal political machine, and it reminds me of the parents of gay kids in the 90s. Unpleasable control freaks. That is my social work assessment of the people who were mean to me. If it is not you, then don't feel bad. I am sure that there will be another round of rewards for everyone forever, and frankly, I believe most people we all know will be there for a good and happy portion of both mercy and justice.
