An Easy Yoke to Bear

I realize, of course, some people will be very angry to learn that I am blogging from jail. And even though they are a relatively small minority (only a few per hundred say) they are the ones most heard. What a shame that the ones who read these words with some understanding, or at least some tolerance, will seldom be heard. Well, heard or not, it is the ones who want to understand that I am writing this for. I have nothing personal to gain, except perhaps the tiny bit of comfort that comes from knowing that at least i tried my best. This blog is about our stuggle to know who we are. The only way that is going to happen is when enough of us learn the art of listening without judgement; which is not easy even under the best inclinations. And yet, once you learn how, it is as easy as walking. It is an "easy yoke to bear," as some famous man once said. The only stuggle is really just putting it on our shoulders; something we instinctively resist and fight vehemently against, until we realize that we were made for nothing else: we were made to bear witness to the Truth, that is all.
"TUNE IN means to bear witness to the Light, that all men might believe." --Timothy Leary, High Priest
