“Our Karma: To Ignore Homer”
Photograph by John Diamond, M.D.
Achilles’ wrath …
such the will of Jove!
(The Iliad, trans. Alexander Pope)
Achilles’ rage …
as Zeus’ will was done.
(The Iliad, trans. Stanley Lombardo)
Everything the Tao,
the Karmic Plan,
the Will of God.
We have no free will
– this Homer Knew,
but we are Willed
to not.
“Thy will be done”
– when?
as if not now,
and always.
Why not
“Thy Will is always being done”
– can only be done.
Why have we ignored Homer?
We are Meant to.
