Two points of business to take care of today.

First, today’s sermon totally rocks. I listened to it twice yesterday and it’s just filled with so much common sense and beauty. The thing is that an archetype of a female disco prophet speaks through me so I, my ego self, listens to her also, and I try to remember that it’s not me, per se, but her speaking. I hope my critics will remember that, too. I’ve been doing what Rilke calls “huge obedience” to her since my childhood days.

Second, my BFF was visiting me over Thanksgiving and she came up with such a hilarious joke about the president and American politicians in general and how they are constantly launching “weapons of mass annoyance.” Normal people can do that, too, it seems to me. Anyway, I used this joke in the sermon but in reference to weapons of mass delusion, which we all also launch into the world every day.

It occurs to me that if individuals remain stubbornly deluded, they help to keep the world deluded. So it comes down to each of us to step up our game and shed the delusions.

For music today, I have a terrifically emo rainy Sunday morning mix for a more contemplative dance session.

Keep on rocking in the aether, disco congregants.

Here are today’s offerings, with love.
