Though you lose, thus becoming an intimate as a lover or friend, brother or sister, parent, you will always lose through attrition or accident. We know that 9/11’s are attrition and love is always an accident, because we reap what we sow, and never choose whom we love. Attrition is the rain, forming from pressure within the skies, high and low temperatures at Armageddon: yin and yang becoming earth’s tears. Accident is the rain, vilifying the evil of being from these two lessers of the skies, love is sought but never found or found at odd places: yin and yang becomes earth’s joy. Thus, rain is a lie, liar, lying, saying joy and love at the same time. But love is not from this world. It is not recognized, but named… “No” to the world’s belligerence. We know love is expressed by this action, yes… Thus, it’s not a lie. Love cannot be otherwise or we would’ve never crucified the Savior or our true loves for the world… Love cannot exist naked. It is always ready to be whipped, strangled, maimed as Jesus or a twice victimed Iraqui, the third world or as Salvadore Allende.* But I love the rain despite my self. It is within the reach of definitions but not confirmations. So, love like rain cannot be held hostage by human view nor divine postage. I love as it rains, I rain as I love. From here, in my prayer, let my love of rain be love. *Found in Voices of a People’s History of the United States, by Howard Zinn and Anthony Arnove, and the now canonical historical work of the United States by the same Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States: “Watergate had made both the FBI and the CIA look bad---breaking the laws they were sworn to uphold, cooperating with Nixon in his burglary jobs and illegal wiretapping. In 1975, congressional committees in the House [of Representatives] and Senate began investigations of both the FBI and CIA…It was also learned from the investigation that the CIA---with the collusion of a secret Committee of Forty headed by Henry Kissinger—had worked to ”destabilize” the Chilean government headed by Salvadore Allende , a Marxist who had been elected president in one of the rare free elections in Latin America.” (pp.554). For a more balanced view on the complicity of Kissinger and his role in U.S foreign policy, moreover his role in the death of Allende, see or read the acclaimed movie or book: The Trials Henry Kissinger.
