I’m thinking that we need to start a series of meditation centers around the country. Have you ever seen someone trip or stumble and they turn around and stare at the spot where they tripped as if they’re going to see something significant. They have a puzzle look. Some might be angry. We could set up cameras and see if we could locate certain spots around the country where this event happened over and over again.
If, on investigation, we found that people were tripping because there was a raised crack in the sidewalk, we could fix it. Or we could just leave it there and set up a candid camera to watch people trip. If we found that there was no visible reason for this phenomenon and people kept tripping in the same spot, then it’s time to take action.
At that point we would begin to set up small monuments to honor the nymph or gremlin that was causing people to trip. Perhaps we could make them look like wishing well. And at these spots, people could come and throw in a few coins and think a few positive thoughts toward whatever it was at that spot that was causing people to trip. Not only with this honor the little spooks that are playing games, but it might also keep people from falling down in public.
If the republicans are in charge, we could have local teams of volunteers to maintain these spots. They could collect any money, dropped into the slot and channel it to the local charity. If the Democrats are in charge, then we will probably need a federal czar, who will be in charge of a large team of federal employees to make sure that each of the points of meditation is maintained at federal standards. Any money that was donated with mysteriously disappear.
Maybe this could be a campaign issue in 2028.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.
