Tikkun Olam - The Ubiquitous Conductor

Keep her safe and she will huddle. Let her huddle and enjoy her magic.

As her neighbors implode, she lifts the curtains to her spectacular armory against the surrounding belligerency without outside pontification and interference.

1350 meters that equaled 10 seconds is a connecting dot. Iraq then Afghanistan and a journeyman hacker who caused turmoil for most - but not her - is indicative of her power. Tunisia then Egypt. Social networks are credited despite the belligerent component that despise non-Muslims and demean their women in that part of the world overwhelms those who use the social media to rally for democracy and the ones who do realize too late that the facade of a 14th century doctrine parlayed by tinpot dictators comes to roost as the real thing looms large. 

The arch begins 2001 with termite-laden shape charges strapped onto 47 steel cores and ends 2031 with the true color of the doctrine infused in the Middle East, Africa and Asia but rendering them hopeless dogmatics to a much older program in the hands of a ubiquitous conductor, who plays the first continent at the strings, second at percussions and the third at the horns.

Only a hopeless dogmatic will fathom that Salk’s inoculation is not on his arm, Frohman’s processor is not inside his computer and Benz’s steering wheel is not in his car. Only the hopeless dogmatic will fathom that the ubiquitous conductor she is, did not evolve the internet he communicates with or the medical breakthroughs he survives on. Only a hopeless dogmatic would fathom that his cellphone was invented in Finland. Only a hopeless dogmatic is convinced that her sliver of real-estate he threatens with his existential edict is a not a pool of patents that keeps him alive with hers.

In essence, only a hopeless dogmatic views the concept of Subjugate The World (Jihad) a reasonable expectation in this day and age as opposed to Repair The World (Tikkun Olam) the oldest running Reality Show and still the best in the business.

Keep her safe and she will huddle. Let her huddle and enjoy her magic.

Words – Tommy Peters

Afterword: Tumbalaika is a Yiddish folk song that captures the Russian-revolution era. It is sung by Faye Nepon in Roberto Faenza's Prendimi l'anima (The Soul Keeper), a biographical of a Russian girl, Sabina Spielrein  and her relationship with her doctor Gustav Jung - a student of Freud. In 1905, 19-year old Sabina is admitted into a psychiatric hospital in Zurich under Jung. They fall in love. Sabina eventually returns to Russia, becomes a psychoanalyst herself and founds the famous White School before her sudden death in 1942 in hands of the Nazis.
