The Pope should visit Iran

 I don't have a problem with the Pope visiting America. However, its like fishing in a barrel. If the pope wanted to do something truly earth shattering--or rather Earth conjoining, he would visit Iran.  Why not attempt to heal the thousand year gaping wounds that exist between Christianity and Islam? And why stop there?  The Pope could visit Tel Aviv and Jerusalem on the way back from Tehran.   I know the Catholic church has enough difficulties ministering to its own flock, but reach out a little bit will ya?

Pope Francis is getting to be something of a rock star.  When he dies, there will undoubtedly be calls for him to be canonized.   All you have to do is tour America a couple of times and set a vaguely moderate and modern tone like John Paul II and you are in.   Talk to some of the ancestors of indigenous American's about the Pope's choice of Junipero Serra to see how easy it is to join the club.

Not that my vote counts, but if the Pope goes to Iran, I think he should be canonized.   While he is still alive. no less.  With his current burgeoning popularity, a trip to Tehran would be such a dramatic gesture that it would inspire countless citizens of this planet, not just Catholics, for years to come.  It could change the entire psychic ecosystem of the planet.

Reality runs like water, the mind is like stone and steel in its path.   Unlock your mind Mr. Pope! Take a chance on brand new things.  Twist away the gates of steel.   Harmonize the new psychic ecosystem with the rushing flow of reality.   Go to Tehran.   Anything is possible.   There are no limits in this new psychic ecosystem.

I just have to keep saying  psychic ecosystem psychic ecosystem  psychic ecosystem  psychic ecosystem

And in my new psychic ecosystem, David Foster Wallace replaces William Shatner on Star Trek. He never dies. The five year voyage continues indefinitely, even to this day.   And the world would be a much better place.

When you are on a jailbreak in Cincinnati because you don't speak Russian, and that is your only saving grace because if you did understand it, you would probably go crazy, and you go to a bar called the Cock and Bull, and the bartender tells you that they have no Imperial Stout, but he knows a great brewery that has some, and you go there and they don't have any, moreover the beer they do have sucks, but you are on the phone narrating your adventure so its not all that bad from that perspective just keep in mind that it is important to always nourish your psychic ecosystem.
