I Have To Laugh

I Have To Laugh

The path to truth is
so wide and universal
that I have to laugh
at my belief that there
could be one way,
one gate, one right
answer, that I could
need to do anything
at all to be complete.

So what's with the orb?

I was talking to my son on the phone the other night when he relayed a story about one of his new "interesting" friends in Arizona. T.J. apparently has a floating orb that visits him at night. The orb is not friendly, nor is it aggressive. He simply stated that this orb floats slowly into his room from the window (which is closed) and hovers for a few seconds before it leaves. He was quick to specify that he has no emotional connection to the orb, and that he is fairly positive it is not the embodiment of one of his numerous dead relatives.

Michael and I went on to have a lengthy discussion about the fact that he was disturbed that the kid had no emotional connection to this banal orb..we discussed numerous possible explanations for the symbolism of the orb. Without further information we were at a loss. Then it occurred to me:

I want an orb! As an Omnist, I am open to new and different experiences and I feel if anyone on this planet should have an orb it would be an Omnist. To be perfectly clear, I do not believe in life after death, do not believe in supernatural otherworldly beings, but DAMMIT I WANT AN ORB!

So I've taken the liberty to begin compiling what I feel should be essential orb ownership information..

The pamphlet entitled "So You Think You Want An Orb" begins with "Is An Orb Right For You?"

Don't Be Alarmed

This is a blog about CORN. Let me be clear. CORN is the Club of Omnists Reaching Nirvana, of which I am a co-founder. The name as well as the idea is ever-evolving. Don't be surprised if you read this one day and I've changed the name of our little club to something else. But I guarantee it won't be Hominy. What is that anyway? Is that even a real food? It looks and tastes like corn infected with botulism..

I've decided to give this a whirl ... a multitude of reasons built up to this very exciting moment in history...here's a short list:

1. Social Networking is fun and all but I've felt stifled by the need to censure myself in front of friends and family members, my kids friends, mortal enemies who creep..so at least here I can drop the F* bomb.

2. I really like dropping the F* bomb.

3. I'm running out of room in the Notebook De La Jenn. I don't have to use my "good" pens. No ink stains on my hands/wrists/legs.

4. I think being an Omnist is fan-fucking-tastic and I look forward to continuing on this journey with my fellow Omnists. Maybe we'll talk about it here...

5. I don't always want to talk about CORN or Omnism or the Freemasons or Orbs. And I won't.
