We talked about Bhagwan and religion today.
She thinks I’m crazy but without malice.
I tried to make the point that he is to religion
what ‘One World’ is to nationalism
Somehow its only the Rolls Royces everyone sees
and I had to confess I don’t understand
that part myself.

I told her that if I couldn’t get time off
I would quit my job to go this summer
and she couldn’t fathom how something
I’m so inactive in
could be so important to me.

I said that in my priorities only she
and the kids came higher.
I tried to ask her how she would feel
if somehow she had come to believe
that Christ had returned…

would it change her life,
that He was existing, available,
in our society?

Would it change mine?
I’m still trying to find out.

I’m going to go again in July and
join the Buddhafield.
Open my heart and eyes to the storm
of history around this man.
