The annual PA Coalition meeting ended with a new pledge of solidarity by the delegates.  Again, Pizzaonius IV, as is his custom, pledged to the delegates to alternate between being a committed Christian and Atheist every other year.   

The dedicated leadership of Pizzaonius has brought a new level of ecumenical dedication unparalleled in Pizzaonian history. His example should be an inspiration to all political leaders.

Conjectures of a Recovering dilettante – a funny thing happened on the way to Utopia – we stopped needing other people.

 
Since the beginning of human existence, the need for community was essential for survival.  We had to deal with each other personally in order to survive.  It was that simple, and like it or not, we engaged the process. 

Then came the age of technology, and suddenly we can do anything via the machine.  (Note: the word machine, not phone or computer, is appropriate.) We no longer have to be bothered with "face to face: contact. 

Can you imagine what this means to future generations?  If you cannot, you had better start thinking about it.  More later…….

Brother Giovanni, commenting from Pizzaonia

“If you want journalism, go listen to Edward R. Murrow tapes." says Pizzaonian News Service Director, Diverti Mento

 

Diverti Mento, news director of Pizzaonian News Service, gave a spirited defense to thwart the criticism he received with his appointment of Abe Surdity as a PNS political correspondent.

“If you want journalism, go listen to Edward R. Murrow tapes.  We are in the age of Newsertainment and our policies at PNS will continue to bring the public the best in Newsertainment service.  

If you want reality watch reality shows.  Today, news programs are the new sitcoms of entertainment, and we at PNS are determined to lead the way. Abe Surdity, with his background in horse racing and dog breeding is the perfect man for the job,” declared Mr. Mento 

Public reaction is vocal and mixed, but we are getting what the Pizzaonian News Service expected when they hired Mr. Mento, a well- known Pizzaonian mystic, as the news director.

Sister Veronica speaks out on how faith drives our lives whether we know it or not. – Pizzaonian News Service

 

We live in a time when the concept of faith has lost its luster. Faith by today’s rules is consigned often to the unsophisticated.  As a result when someone declares a belief or activity as “a matter of faith” it is immediately suspect. 

This presents a major problem. If faith is suspect, than most of our assumptions must also be suspect since so much of what we believe is based on faith-like assumptions. 

A major assumption we make everyday is the world as we know it will continue to exist. This is an assumption based on faith. 

The odds may be with us, but nonetheless, we don’t know what’s going to happen in the next minute and must assume we will still be here. 

This obvious assumption should give us pause.  Our arrogant supposition regarding the stability of life keeps us from changing many things that need changing. 

The notion there will be a tomorrow may give us hope, but how many important things never get done because this assumed hope is part of our belief system.  This implicit hope is the “mother” of all procrastination. 

Be careful – the next time you find faith suspect - make sure you are not living most of your life based on assumptions rooted in faith.

“Want to change your life and the world for the better?” http://giovanniandfranco.com

 
“Met a strange man yesterday living in a car with 12 dogs, the dogs adored him.  He was a pleasant soul.  As he was leaving he said “Want to change your life and the world for the better?”   

Of course I had to hear the answer. 

“Just spend one entire day listening – really listen to what people say to you – listen, and hear the sounds about you, hear the delight of nature with its cacophony of melodies – listen to the natural rhythm of your body – but most of all listen to heal, to understand, to affirm, listen to yourself, to others and everything around you.” 

I may never see him again, but I will never forget him.

Conjectures of a Recovering Dilettante - On keeping score

ON KEEPING SCORE 

 
It seems we live in a world that demands we keep score.  From kindergarten children to senior citizens, someone is watching and keeping a record.  Nothing is left to spontaneity or chance.

Everything is to be accounted for and you can be sure you will be told by someone the results of the scorecard. 

Since there is very little we seem to be able to do to change this, let’s remember one thing.  If you insist on keeping score make sure you count points for as well as point against.  

There is a growing tendency to use the scoreboard as a weapon, both pro and con.  Enough!  Just remember to be fair.  After all, someone is also scoring how you keep score.

Conjectures of a recovering dilettante - On the need for a creative environment

 
I wonder how many of us feel we are creative?  And if we do, how many of us feel we have no legitimate outlet for our creativity? 

If there is no way for your creativity to flow in your present environment, then change it.  This is not only wise, it is a moral imperative.  

To become the person you are, not just who you were meant to be, but the person you are – you must plant your creative seed in fertile ground. 

Do not take this warning lightly.  Your life may depend on it. 

Brother Giovanni.
