Jimmy and I were conversing about this again today.

Sweet, Crazy Money... You'd think it caused the earth to actually rotate. Not so. Yet, so many on this planet uphold money as the ultimate belief system. Yes, money is worshipped with a faith, so solid, so sure, doubt is almost never countenanced in it's presence.

Those of us who worship at the altar of money hardly even know what system of immateriality that we so firmly and confidently embrace....

What we agree on is simply to exchange energies in relation to little paper or plastic chits - and sometimes in real precious metals, gemstones, and computer memory chips.

Just the tangible forms of our energy, unfairly distributed, scrambling as we do for more than our neighbor, when we instinctively know than with the acquisition of superior material wealth must most certainly come -- love, security, faith, and life. Did we not know, all along, that those last four ingredients were always free, an unbounded and unmeasured gift?

Look around you -- you will find that the value that you hold in the highest esteem lies deep in the eyes of another human being, or several - a child, a lover, a parent, sibling, friend, cousin, even the enemy who hones our self and other awareness into sharp and merciless focus.

There is the true faith.
