Is it a bird? A butterfly? A bee? An excrutiating boil on the bottom? A pain in the neck, and a nasty-tasting medicine? Yup. It's an extension of me; warts and all. A third arm if you like. Always handy, if you know what I mean...

Welcome to Daily Meander Dear Reader... This blog is intended to simply be an online diary. Like my real diary, it will contain political, funny, sexual, thoughtful, sweet and engaging entries. Some will be true, and some will be patently untrue. Imagination is part of life. I use mine. Use yours.

The Human Condition

Here on Earth, men and women go about their daily lives generally unmoved by events that do not, at first glance, seem to concern them. Busying themselves with the smaller details of life that can take up so much of one's time such as work, houseplants, children, gardening.

There are very few of us that think beyond the realm of ordinary averageness. Very few who really seem to understand the vast, timeless, grandiose scheme of real life and how man and woman fit into that plan as the mere - short lived - animals we really are.

Those of us who are religious believe perhaps in the Afterlife. In Reincarnation, or Martyrdom even. Those who are not might misquote Karl Marx's idiom regarding the 'Opium of the masses' and with a sigh, consign the whole entire history of humanity to a cosmic dustbin.

So let's just look at what it would take to really live life as nature intended.

1) Remove all clothes.
2) Never take contraception.
3) Disavow all technology.
4) Hunt and be hunted.
5) Unilaterally disarm ourselves.
6) Live together in small sociable groups.
7) Disband all governing bodies.
8) Let Mother Nature take over anything she can.
9) Lose any conception of Time.

There is one more point I wish to make.

10) Build the Republic of Heaven where you stand.

Don't wait to die before you experience true happiness. You can't realistically follow points 1-9 above, you'd be Sectioned. All that stuff is too late for humankind now.

But point 10 - that is something you can do. Pretend that there is no afterlife, and create your own happiness right here, and now.

Why should we do this?

Because God is what you make it. And that sentence is grammatically correct.

Don't wait. If you want to know exactly how to create Heaven here on earth, watch your children. They know exactly how to do it.

With innocence, curiosity, laughter, simple childlike kindness, and pure, trusting love.

With Love to all my friends, Sergei.
