Let the wizard commence to dance

When the Israelites were about to take the promise land, and by take we absolutely mean grab all the stuff that's laying around, pack it up and do some wacky, wonderful stuff, we read that they were to "do what is right and good in the Lord's sight, so that it may go well with you and you may go in and take over the good land the Lord promised on oath to your ancestors."

Got all that? I almost did.

One minute folks were holding on to that do-what-is right-stuff and the next they are packing it in and marching and matching and singing and dancing like Michael Jackson on a summer's day, like they were about to march right on off the cliff and all that stuff. 

One minute it's good versus bad, great versus evil, wonderful against all the bad stuff in the sweet, loving world and wouldn't you know it, we were about to have the yak, yak, yak don't talk back kind of stuff when loving you is wrong, I don't want to be right and bam, bam, bam we're in pot-hole heaven. I mean, pot-hole heaven. It's 

It has always been good versus bad, great versus evil, good versus, well, fools and the foolish things they bring  to the equation. It has always been that way. But, then, open the cap on the pill bottle and watch stuff pour out like molten lava. Just watch and wait and see the pour stuff pour out.

I've read recently there is good chocolate and there is bad chocolate. Just do some quoting here. Katy Perry done stepped in a big, ol hole, and we had better look for the lid on the bottle.

Friends, there is good fat and bad fat. There is good debt and there is bad debt. Heck, there is even good cholesterol and bad cholesterol and even good carbs and bad carbs. A pile of good and a pile of bad and away we go.

Truth is, everything is split into good and bad, as if we were to grab all the mathematic problems that were hiding away in plain sight, hold on to the chalk and begin to scrape away at the board. It is enough to make your head remove itself from the equation and go kerplunk itself.

Well, well, and well done.  So, what do we do? Go ahead and let the stuff roar, like Katy do and Katy did.

What's next is the question, and what's next is the proper answer.

When the wizard is dancing like a madman down the yellow-brick road, we await the simple but pure answer ... get on up and get on away. Sounds so wonderfully simple, but it's so wonderfully complicated.

Let the music begin.
