Rob Ford and the Mills of God

I know everybody is just about done to death

with comments about Toronto's bad boy mayor

but I just can help myself.

 

From where I sit Rob Ford looks like the western

equivalent of Sharia law - might is right and women

and minorities are neither respected nor heard.

 

He is our one step back for every two steps forward

in the struggle for justice and a greater cultural

balance of the masculine and feminine.

 

He represents a mindset that has been in place

for 5,000 years and has brought our planet to

the edge of extinction.

 

But no more.

 

 

THOUGH the mills of God grind slowly, Rob Ford,

Yet they grind exceeding small;

Though with patience She stands waiting,

With exactness grinds She all.

Do I have an inner Rob ford?
 
An isolated, cruel male personality that is so out of
touch with the feminine that he's lost his soul?  So addicted
to power, alcohol and perhaps drugs that he doesn't even
feel the monkey on his back?
 
I do have an inner Rob Ford.
 
There was a time in my life when alcohol was the demon
that possessed me.  Or the demon used my weakness for
alcohol to sicken my psyche.
 
It was a long time ago and healing involved hitting rock
bottom. 
 
And when there's nowhere else to go you either kill yourself
or you have a serious conversation with God.
 
I don't think Rob Ford has hit rock bottom yet.
And although his fall will be well documented I don't think
his redemption will be
 

because he doesn't look as if he'll live long enough to discover
his inner Francie.
