Cosmo–Meet Uncle George

When i knew the Civil War veteran, my

great uncle George, he felt ostracized.

He was a ghost in my attic who came to

talk in the darkest hours.

We both felt ostracized–not rejected

by the society in which we were thrust.

Although i was still alive and he was a ghost

we developed a camaraderie.We had a

similar concept of God, the cosmic

consciousness which we loved instead of

worshipped.

The establishment then, much as

today, had a value system we could not

accept. As an eleven-year-old boy i was

a rebel. Uncle George was not really a

rebel. He felt that he was not accepted

by the people around him. He appreciated

my camaraderie.

My great grandson-to-be is on the

verge of birth. I think it would be

appropriate to name him Cosmo. This

would celebrate the cosmos evolving into

a community more founded on love,

influenced by cosmic consciousness.
