I once set out to figure out the whole of the universe all on my own.
What an empty, lonely search that turned out to be! And why not? I was the one who decided it should be "all on my own."
As it turns out, "all on my own" is what you call it when you are fit and full of energy, for when you are tired and weak, the exact same arrangement ends up being empty and lonely. I was the one who deemed it should be lonely.
Not only had I hexed the mood of my inquiry, I had filibustered its productivity. Alone, I would only find the truths I had made... leaving out the truths created by communion with others and truths created by God. And come on, when it really comes down to it, those are better than the ones I cook up.
Besides, being with people and with God doesn't make my truths any less true. In fact, it is within relationship with others and the divine that makes my convictions valuable at all.

Inspired at all by Krishnamurti and the Truth is a Pathless Land?
Certainly relastes if not intended.
Not intended, no. But you are totally right... that my issues with Kris are the same as the wisdom that falls out of this little story.
