The Five Inch Gap

It is so obvious what is happening in the secondary world of thinking, talking, writing, texting, messaging, blogging, tweeting, etc. about what's going on in the primary world of Presidential Candidates jostling for position, Radical Terrorists blowing themselves and others up, Dueling Husbands creating photos that speak tens or hundreds of thousands of needless, pointless words, Media Broadcasters lying, obfuscating, prognosticating, speculating, covering up and exposing, all of that and so much more.

Believe it or not, many millions of people worldwide are thinking about these things, talking about them, writing about them, and forming soft and ultimately hard opinions about them, all the while FAILING to realize what is actually going on inside that five inch gap between their ears.

 (If they only knew... If they only knew... sheeesh!)

There are surely many, if not MOST here (reading this message) who believe they are somehow "ABOVE" all that kind of thing - having risen to extraordinary heights of human potential by following their own particular favorite "teaching", from whatever source floated their boat so many years ago - but the fact is, EVEN THEY are following all this stuff even if they have reduced the amount of "opinion-making", "argumentativeness", "negativity" and even "hostility" that surrounds these kinds of topics. You see, once you actually DO, the neurochemical activity occurring between your ears and behind your eyes - where "X" marks the spot - is a movable feast-in-the-making (not unlike that of a gourmet chef continually preparing specialized electrochemical coctails for a few favored guests), but not until the SETTING has been properly established can the TABLE be appropriately SET, and only THEN can anyone DINE on the abundance therein (i.e., The Meal Is Served!)

Yeah, yeah, that last sentence makes absolutely NO SENSE, but that does not mean it is nonsense. What it means, when to you it DOES, is that SENTENCES are the "coin of that secondary realm". Every swinging keyboarder and mouthpiecer out there (yes, including you) uses SENTENCES that are always ON THE MOVE, and it is they (those pesky sentences) that are the ingredients of that MOVING FEAST of words (which seem to be almost never-ending, once the first couple words, or so, get from your language centers to your finger tips or mouthing lips, revealing the astonishing observation that "I don't actually KNOW what I'm going to say NEXT!"), that can either be full of SHIT (and remember, the one who first notices it, tastes and sometimes even swallows it first), or HI-OCTANE "Time-Travel Fuel" - a rarefied, highly refined combination of sounds, movements, gestures, glances, pauses, stops, starts, intonations, whispers, etc.,  MOST OF WHICH are totally missed by the audience/observers... as is the MEANING... unfortunately for them.

So, bottom line for the moment:  

Pay Attention, Look Around, Listen Up, Don't Get Overrun by the noise.
