July Meditation
There is no
quenching the urge to connect to the Almighty.
To honor the
call of the tribe.
There is no real way of breaking their
fierce hold.
Religious and
political life can thus be explained and
understood:
Humans seek to
connect to the Creator, and
They do it in
tribes.
I suspect It has
always been so:
The ancients,
Sumerians, Akkadians, Egyptians,
Greeks, Romans,
Christians and Muslims--
All cast their
nets to catch the God, and
They tie their
worship to their tribal life.
So it came to
pass—and continues to this day—
We, children of
God-seekers, children of tribes and nations,
Claim God as our
own, and
Conquer and
kill,
Claiming that
God has sanctioned it all.
