higher power

With the two district courts issuing competing rulings and getting no closer to a resolution, O’Rourke’s attorneys turned to a higher power — the 15th Court of Appeals.

It’s a work of pageantry, inspired in part by Hull’s fascination with medieval morality plays, specifically the story of “Everyman,” an examination of self and of our relationship to a higher power.

I would say the same thing my own higher power said to me in a meditation once: “Honey, why would we have designed the system in such a way as to guarantee your endless misery? Can’t you see that we designed you in such a way that everything you are searching for outside of you exists within you? Call off the search, sweetheart. You contain everything you need.”

But what if the president’s idea of a higher power and heaven comes down to his own power to do whatever he wants, without accountability?

“The people have gathered together to remind you there is a higher power. To remind you that in Los Angeles everybody is free, and no human is illegal.”
