When I was a kid,
and I read the Odyssey,
I thought it was an obvious fiction…
How could it be that a grown man,
hears the sound of a Siren,
and gets an uncontrollable urge to jump overboard!!!
How crazy I thought. For sure this is fiction. And the Iliad? Gods interfering in our day to day affairs? Sleeping with mortals? Insanity.
But have you ever woken up from sleep, and you moved your hand to your phone?
Have you seen any casino floor? Mindless drones pulling levers?
Or men roaming streets, with nothing to do?
Thieves with moving hands?
We are called by Sirens daily…
Only if there was a totem pole for all of mankind,
tightly by the oarsmen of God,
before it’s too late.
