Darkness

I read The Heart of Darkness years ago. Some classics need to be revisited from time to time. This one is worthy of a second glance...or a thousandth. But, what I really want to mention tonight is the relationship between Religion and Socialism.

There is a very wide berth offered by Socialism to Religion. What I mean by this is there is a chasm between the social science of caring for the public body and the personal spirtualism of caring for the private soul.

There are many things China does well. There is one thing in particular Nepal does exceptionally well. China has socialized its entire population and sold them on the idea of achievement, expansion, and upward mobility. Nepal has done this better by making the social truth the heart of the Nepalese touchstone.

It is my very sincere hope that we see a new flowering of blue poppies. The peace brought to the Earth through the correct and focused use of love and meditation is imperative for the continued healing of our souls.

My heart...Nepal...and my continued prayers for relations with China.
