Buddy Can You Spare a Paradigm?existential wandering/wondering |
November 27, 1999 Top billing for changes in my life over the last few years has definitely been in the philosophical/theological realm. To recap where I was in my last newsletter, back in 1996 or so, I was searching for Truth, trying to figure out the basis for telling what is real. Then I had the feeling that God may have been asking me to lay even my religion on the altar, and I was confused and fearful. I was involved in talking with many of you about your spiritual and philosophical views, as well as doing some reading in the area. Above: Gather your gurus where ye may -- a few of the people who are my friends and who have shared their wisdom of life, one way or the other. The fact that they are all attractive women does have at least something to do with the fact that attractive women are my favorite photo subject, as much as my favorite source of wisdom. I certainly ought to have a shot of Richard Brown in this story, but I don't have any! Harriet, Anna Sue, Mary Ellen, and Sheila. Credit: Bryan Walls, except the first. I don't remember who took it.
Left: Hardscrable Falls, near Cookeville, Tennessee. Nature is another teacher. So, what now? Is there some other fellowship that I can be a part of? For now, with some trepidation, I'm participating in the Church of the Dance that is, the non-religious fellowship of those who like to dance. The trepidation comes from the tentative nature of the dance community. Dancing is great, but it's sure not God. I'm sure there are lots of religious fellowships of various sorts that would be glad to show me around. But I'm very skeptical of the various claims. For dance, you don't have to believe in any special revelations. You just have to dance. Right: More guru-type people: Sid, in a very appropriate pose at his cabin at Split Tree Farm, Diana, and Teri. Credit: Bryan Walls
