Cat Stevens



  I think the comment about ( paraphrasing ) "one artist to another" is really crucial to this aspect, this thread... As an artist, Cat Stevens was a seeker... but as a Muslim, he became a follower...and at least at the beginning...traded questions for answers. The underlying desire of all seekers is to know... How we achieve, or ascribe, to 'know' varies...
 I suggest that consciousness itself might be put under the microscope... as the results of its endeavors seem to be, for its practitioners, non-self-supporting. Nature is a snapshot in the individual memory.
 Jay Leno...the Tonight Show...walking the streets... The question was about Jesus, he had a job...what did he do? The answer was a typical multi-generational wash... The woman said he was a Contractor. well...... who really knows a carpenter anymore???? Right???
 It's Christmas..and so many other holidays that my memory hasn't access to.... But people, for an instant, seem to glimpse other people less threateningly... So to all...I wish the best... through the smaller window across the planet...and much more evidently, in the small groups of sharing, and collected interest... like this list... that exist under no stronger tissue than "Oh! You like that too...?!!!??!
 
 Mark in St. Louis
    The Earth, with all of its grandeur, is given from the same source as our souls. How can we grasp the aspect of attaining wholeness for our souls, when that judgment day comes, and not be aware that the other gifts we have been given, and the condition with which we have maintained them, will not also be a point of accountability?
