Crying out for justice
Everything is perfect, and needs a lot of work.
The world is perfect as it is. That’s the insight of the spiritual eye. Everything just as it is, is. No judgment, no second thought. Just this. And, and, and, at the very same time, it needs work. Lord, it needs work. That’s the other eye. Starving children, oppressions and exploitations of every sort, greed, hatred, and endless certainties all leading to small and great hurts, the suffering world crying out for justice, for mercy, for some action.
From “A Brief Meditation on Being of Some Use in this World, and Why” (Monkey Mind, July 11)
