First Contact

Last month, it was revealed that a "former intelligence official turned whistleblower has given Congress and the Intelligence Community Inspector General extensive classified information about deeply covert programs that he says possess retrieved intact and partially intact craft of non-human origin." Exciting stuff!

Here's the deeper truth: We have never been alone. Life is abundant on this planet; full of beings whose value and wisdom we constantly fail to appreciate. Only the most arrogant of fools could believe that such a reality is limited to a single rock in this vast universe. We have never, ever been the apex of creation, just the latest in a long line of kings of the hill. And our reign will inevitably end, as did all the others.

Worst-case scenario, we encounter something that sees us as meat to be harvested, pests to be exterminated, or dust to be swept away; call it karmic justice on a cosmic scale. Hopefully, however, we find someone willing to recognize us as family, at least eventually. In any case, the day will dawn, be it tomorrow or in a millennium, when we can no longer deny the strangely glorious totality of our Parent's kingdom.

Perhaps this latest episode will hasten the arrival of that moment, or not. Either way, the choice is clear: Voluntarily renounce our anthropocentric pretensions now, or wait until our heads are forcibly yanked out of the sand later. Choose wisely, for something formidably wonderful longs to embrace you. Exciting stuff indeed!

Serenity

I have been laid low
Pummeled by the whims of life
Only in You, peace
