The Affliction of Abiding in Ignorance

"I am like a deaf mute with a message of the utmost importance, addressing someone ignorant of my fantastic language, who must resort to a frightful pantomime of sighs and gestures. Laboriously, I am transcribing reality." --Evan S. Connell, Notes from a Bottle Found on the Beach at Carmel.

Where can peace be found when the people are afflicted beyond logic, sense and reason. Passions abide and a cancer has grown within the body politic. It has been with us always and has returned. 

Perhaps with a mind unfettered we can see that there is no us and them, we and they, me or you, no space between I and nothing. 

"It moves and the mind is wont to move: forward or back, to the left, to the right, in the ten directions and to the eight points; and the mind that does not stop at all is called immovable wisdom." - --Takuan Soho, The Unfettered Mind
