Last Friday my mother died. She was 84. This is where optimism in all its optimistic fervor and last minute rallying to live is of no more use to anyone. It is no different than pessimism, for death equalizes everything. If there is hope beyond the grave then why would any thinking person be an optimist?

One can even go so far as to say that optimism is the enemy of humanity without sounding the least bit pessimistic about it.

Every time I hear someone say that the story of the life of Jesus of Nazareth is nothing more than recycled ideas from mystery religious cults and myths, it just reminds of me of that famous line by British playwright George Bernard Shaw, “People would rather die than think”. The standard line goes something like this, “Well, you do know that there really is nothing Jesus either said or did that is laid out in the gospels that cannot be found in the pagan mystery rites and stories of Mithras, Adonis, Attis, Dionysus, Osiris, and many many others.” To which I respond, “Oh, really?”

The crossing is the true account of the most important event in my life. It was the event that as American pragmatist William James refers to as “the soul crossing a critical juncture to reach higher safety.” This happened to me on May 1, 1974. I haven’t been the same since. It reverberates to this day in the early 21st Century, by setting into motion the vital interior transformation that my life so desperately needed.

It was the last day of April in 1974 and I had not seen my good friend and drummer Tom for a few months.
