King on the Mountain
Who’s king on the mountain in your life? A brutal game we play as children, destroys the joy and prepares us for ‘life’. In case you don’t know the game, it goes like this: Someone climbs to the highest point. There’s only one high point in this game and it’s occupied by the ‘king.’ If you want to be king, you climb and fight for the position. And so our illusory climb to the ‘top’ begins and we play it out in this, our competitive society. Some o...f us sit at the bottom and wish the climbers luck. We are the disillusioned. Sometimes we even play it out in our ‘loving’ relationships. You got it, it’s a power trip ..er climb.
Must be better up there, right? Well… yeah, there’s plenty of food, space, choices…choices! Choices! Choices!! So let’s call up the imagination that saved us when we were little. We’re sitting at the bottom, looking up. And there are billions of us and only 1% of ‘them.’ We each take one grain of dirt, only one grain mind you, from the mountain. One grain of dirt contains the whole universe, remember? We knew this fact as children and now scientists are even saying 'well, uh, yeah.' There’s plenty of dirt in one mountain for every single one of us. We each stand up on our one grain of dirt and look around. Where did the mountain go? Each of us new billionaires now has one grain and each sees his/her neighbor eye to eye. Where’s the king? Oh, my, she’s now the queen, mother earth, and lives in every heart on every grain of dirt.
Give yourself a three-second hug every morning. Stand on your grain of dirt and include the earth. Include the universe. See what happens.
