The car maintenance class, the youths are looking at the vehicle they used to steal, the teacher is a former car driver, racing car driver, he has a tale to tell them, his reputation of old, was wild boy, who lived for the girls and the attention, so the papers said, then he found himself, one morning he wakes after a dark night of dreaming, he was asking, how did i get here, in a bed, unable to move, was that the paralyzing dream, he wasn’t waking with a smile, the next day he is in the Monaco grand Prix, he is leading as they enter the final lap, he is waving to the spectators, taking the triumph, what could be better, the car suddenly comes to a halt, he looks at the gas indicator, its the old days, fuel in the tank, what, what could it be, he gets out to push the car, he is yards from the finish line, just another, then his main competitor romps past, and takes the trophy instead, would you believe it, it was the injectors that were blocked, amen. The class all listen, clean energy, the veins in your body, how fine the needle, the dirty concoction. The class are cleaning the engine parts, how the smallest details matter.
The Easter week, the signs, what has been your path. There is talk of Jesus Christ, real signs, papal rethinks, new ways of describing ourselves, its like a genie has escaped, why we are what we were, how we change, the little matter of secure thinking, not thinking of others, the freedom to express oneself, the world, how to communicate cleanly. Easter, the fuel injector, How fine the spray, it asks us of ourselves, conditions, the migraine sufferers, each point an angry burst, have more than one, sleep agony, more drama, each notional thought a pain, the constant push into the mind, relief, stress, ah who will be your rescue, even Jesus tells us to give the recovering person some food, feed them he often says, the body has needs as well. Easter, they count the wounds on the body as if they are coroners, the marks, used in story to identify with the great story. Easter, the fine points of Harvest, this was a pass over festival, the escape from Egypt, or the rescue, then the walk in the desert, the people were gathering, coming from all areas, the talk was trade, business doing well, the need for accommodation, food, peace among the more rebellious Jews, meetings with the Sanhedrin, people all prepared, resources, table settings, relatives from the country, it’s gung ho, its Christmas in Spring time.
The old anxiety, this man they call Jesus, he’s got the ear of the common folk, many are listening to him, he breaks the rules, eats what he likes, and the elements, they heed him, what if, is he another form of spirit, and he claims kinship with God Almighty, and disturbs the take on the door when he is about, a danger to our relationship with Rome, what if he ignites trouble, with all the people about, there is tension in the air, this is the diatribe they speak, having planned to do away with him, it sounds convincing, many are taken in, it makes complete sense, and our status among our brethren is not put at risk, even if in private we have doubts.
Late, near darkness, remote place, the trial begins An injection of faith, is all you need, the mustard seed, did any of this make you think, the human way gets in the way, our material doubts, who doesn’t get anxious, but when its so easily taken from you, or where there are so many whom you think will, its easy to act in a certain way.
So Francis is taking it easy, not in a hurry, reads some old stories going back 200 or three hundred years, nothing that can get clouded in today speak, clears the mind, gets to the humanness of the times, simple, those with too much perish in ways, there are so many willing to take them on, having less to worry about, was like a conscience that runs on clean energy. Not having to come up with a meaning, until you have read the book, you read on, getting a better meaning of what you already read, like a new revelation a week later, oh, well if i knew then, what would I have thought then, but being human, you forget that as nonsense, knowing it will change your entire reflection, or you loose grip with your inner bias’s. And this corundum, is like when you inject, the Gospels of Jesus, into your relationship with the Almighty, it improves and deepens the meaning, amen.
