A Higher Authority

Having prepared for decades to face the authorities of academia, then to encounter, observe, question their conclusions, the validity of their “authority”, and reccognizing their all-too-human realities, to then see that true authority is the realities of the world, which are to be encountered, understood,…perhaps then accepted and embraced. The “higher authorities” are the facts of history, mankind, society, human being… the traditional “God” being too distant for direct inquiry, and academia committed to positionings, neutrality, careers.
