Day 3: Money and everything else

M O N E Y


Write that out over and over and it loses its very important being of

" The One "

History 101 -The word money is believed to originate from a temple of Hera, one of Rome's seven hills...The temple of Juno Moneta in Rome is where the "money" of Ancient Rome was located.

"Juno" is an Ancient Rome goddess meaning " The One"

When I think of the phrase " The One" it seems angelic, should I bow , pray or cry with joy at its presence ...in this case I just mention. Never would I associate such a special and precise title to that of such a plain thing. It only seems right to relate the two, after all there are " no such thing as coincidences " ( that's for you dad)

hmmm...

Without getting carried away and reading too much into this ( I am woman, pardon my finding the text within a text within a subtext) " The One" here is a simple translation. It is just that. But!! One ( me, hello ) is like a kid in a candy store, free to pick and chose, to interpret and to connect the dots as obvious or not as they are to such a duh! right in your face something that could possibly be some sort of something.

Such an obvious translation, so fascinating and devastating all at the same time?

Money- The abundance of it is powerful and leaves one ( aware of) intoxicated with endless possibilities where the lack of is a constant torment BUT for the lucky few, yes lucky in cases fueled by ambition and a run for the rainbow, full force speedway to what if.

Most of us out there ( my dear readers) are as I am here writing, a lover of what if, we are in a journey of making our mark, leaving our post for something better, something worth the talk and at the idea of perhaps an imitation of some sort. After all imitation is the greatest form of flattery.

We start our days, aimlessly and routinely with an ultimate goal, whether for today or tomorrow or distant speck in the sky of the ideal.

1st- money can't buy happiness ( he/she was not happy)
2nd- money is the root of all evil ( he/she was evil)
Such phrases were put in place to deter you and I from remembering our place in the playground. Fair play and love thy neighbour. Why should " it" change all that.
Would I not lend my shovel and bucket if I were up here and my friend down there.
Why such a separation from what a man is. A man is one who is driven by....my answer in short is love and acceptance. At the end of the day we, myself included want to love and be loved and feel a part of.
Strip away the material layers of ( oh I don't know, expectations and assumptions and so many other -umptions) and we are all the same. We forget that, and we must not forget that, we must remember that.


"The One" being in my piece here is just as I started out...a translation and by means of description a relation to everything else...
A coincidence by default but an interesting way of grounding ourselves when the air is thick and peace of mind is muffled.

Money is power, it is opportunity and it is the only thing that drives us all ( to good or to bad) it does its part, it creates a chance for 2 ways, both leading to the same golden gate. Neither is easy, fast or pleasant but one is beautiful and tattooed in the whisper that comes before dawn. It is a soft shadow everyday, everywhere and in everyone.
...don't kid yourselves, break it all away, get rid of everything else, find the man who seeks your smile, the cause that will fail without your line and the sound of laughter that is faint without your humour.

Rich or poor, silver spoon or 9-5 it is what we are ALL here for. For the chance to win here, while we are here, while we have to be here before we meet " The One"


huh, how's that for an ending....that's a whole other everything else and more....
