Hazel
Hazel liked to spend a little time each day googling things she had no interest in. She would research products she did not want to buy or look up illnesses she did not have. Other times she would send questions via email to politicians and rock stars. She usually did not support the political party or appreciate the music of the rock star the emails were addressed to, and she had no interest in reading their replies. She posted links and You Tube clips on social media that she found dull. Some days she'd even check into places she'd never been. One day a friend tagged her and asked her to post her top ten favourite albums on Facebook. She copied Mojo magazine’s ‘Ten Most Important Albums in Rock History’ and posted them.
Of course she still used the internet for the usual things you and I do, things she did enjoy, but peppered her use with misleading searches to create a false online profile. She thought that by using the internet in this way there’d be no company or government organisation that could mine her data for an accurate profile of her likes or dislikes.
But soon word got out of Hazel's eccentricities. Her online habits were given a medical title and labelled an illness. Medical professionals who made more money in a year than Hazel could make in two decades told her to cease her false online activity. They designed a medication which would stop her hijinks and injected her with a lifetime dose. The medication made her numb, obese and a bore to be around. And then the medical professionals told her to lose weight or she'd get diabetes or worse.
Hazel googled ‘diabetes'.
Watch the flags rise to start up the fight
See them multiply to increase the divide
Blame's going round and soon it stops at you
And this coma we're drifting in and out of proves nothing
Dealing With Loss Whilst Holding the Winning Ticket
I'm trying to find a keyhole in my mind
I'm trying to find a moment back in time
No more can rely on your well worn out disguise
There's no more scenes in your hollow countryside
What can you deal me?
What have I learnt from you?
...nothing I'd pass on
What could heal me?
What will I show to you?
This nothing I'll pass on
It's the time we're together
I've never felt so in parts
It's every day you feel you're finished
Several times a day I start
The way you're ramming your path through life
To sacrifice at all costs
Holding my jackpot ticket
Whilst feeling your loss
The Gateless Gate - Keichu's Wheel
Getsuan said to his students: "Keichu, the first wheel-maker of China, made two wheels of fifty spokes each. Now, suppose you removed the nave uniting the spokes. What would become of the wheel? And had Keichu done this, could he be called the master wheel-maker?"
Mumon's comment: If anyone can answer this question instantly, his eyes will be like a comet and his mind like a flash of lightning.
When the hubless wheel turns,
Master or no master can stop it.
It turns above heaven and below earth,
South, north, east, and west.
