Where’s Your Ego?
Sunday, August 26th, 2007
How arrogant, insatiable, vain, and egocentric, to stand on a mountain top with all the world below, and have the gull to ask for more from life than this? If there is anything that the Alpha Course makes apparent, it is that human self-importance really has no limits. Centuries after its been established that our planet is not at the centre of the universe, our egos remain where we once believed earth to be.
Well that is that and this is this.
Will you tell me what you saw and I’ll tell you what you missed,
when the ocean met the sky.
You missed when time and life shook hands and said goodbye.
When the earth folded in on itself.
And said “Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell
are really there, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.”
You wasted life, why wouldn’t you waste death?
