Secret sauce
Tumblr media
He was kind of a legend.
He was one of the most successful lobbyists I ever worked with. Not in terms of making money, but in terms of getting bills through the legislature.
Which was amazing. Because his clients were mostly small-time not-for-profits. Stuff like youth services, after school programs, access to mental health care.
Good causes. With shoe-string budgets.
They couldn’t field an army of volunteers to help a friendly legislator. Much less write a check.
And yet, year after year, he got their bills passed. With support from both parties.
When I asked him how he did it, he laughed. Then told me, “I don’t do anything. I just make sure they never forget us. Because if they remember us, they’ll do the right thing.”
As I learned, that wasn’t spin.
Whatever was happening, whatever the issue was – even if there wasn’t an obvious connection to the small-time not-for-profits he represented – he kept his clients visible. He made sure they were part of the conversation.
That really was his secret sauce.
I bring this up, because it reminds me of what Jesus shows us in today’s Gospel.
Jesus is explaining the way that He does things. Jesus is modeling for the Apostles (and for us) how to make sure that you do the right thing.
What’s the constant in today’s Gospel? Jesus is always looking to God, thinking about God, following God’s lead.
“The Son cannot do anything on His own, but only what He sees the Father doing. For what He does, the Son will do also.”
That’s the point of it, the thread that runs through it all.
Jesus isn’t all about Himself. And yet, Jesus never loses sight of who He is. That sounds like a contradiction, but it isn’t.
Jesus never loses sight of who He is, because Jesus never loses sight of Whose He is.
Jesus is always looking to God, thinking about God, following God’s lead, defining Himself in terms of God and His relationship with God.
Which is both a glimpse into the inner life of the Holy Trinity, and the recipe for our lives.
How do you and I do that? We follow the model that Jesus gives us.
We make a habit out of looking to God, thinking about God, following God’s lead, whatever the issue is – even if there isn’t an obvious connection – defining ourselves in terms of God and our relationship with God.
That’s the secret sauce, the recipe for doing the right thing in all things.

I am practicing shibari now.
With the amount of rope I currently have (very little, one rope) I was able to pull off one harness. This is the Bulldog Harness.
I don't think this was MEANT to be a self-tie, but I want to do a lot of practice on myself, so I looked for things that didn't require complicated back knots (or multiple connected ropes). Feels kind of messy in the back because, well, I can't see, and I'm not as flexible as I should be. The middle could probably be a bit wider at the top, too, since I had a bit of excess at the end. Overall, it wasn't frustrating enough to quit, and I feel pretty good about it.
It's kind of wild how much ice had to look for things specifically labeled as self-ties, but I'm also pretty dumb.
I've done a few more basic things before this. This is not my starting point. Safety, basic knots, stretching, rope maintenance, and holding tension all come first.

[So, what I'm gonna do is run some salt light over all the fish. And xenology: an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. And what is the mixture? Our secret sauce.]
