theirs not ours

Refuse to close your eyes. If you cannot see your ears will suffice. If no ears, you can rely on what everyone else relies on; the shirt-tails of other people who have questionable notions of what constitutes the consideration of anyone else but themselves and their condition. They pass this on to you/us not through fault, but through their humanness unashamed and bashful. Suppression of what is natural to them requires change which would be the same as admitting they were wrong. Few people, of any age, are capable of this yet we all want this in one form of the other while holding on to the values of other people who have supplied us with our security tools and core values we fight so directly inside.

love

My love is a mile wide for the one who should never inspire my desire, but should make me think and feel in new and interesting ways from which to draw from the well. Sometimes when I dip the cup in, I want to do so on my foot-tips and lean in so my arm gets wet. I like to feel the cool water beads flow steadily down my arm through my palm and back into the well again. Sometimes I like to bring my wet hand up to my face and wipe it clean. Then sometimes, if there is a breeze, I like to let it come across my face so I can feel the chilling exhileration of breathe, of love, and of life.

think with your mind

The politician cannot benefit the many because he/she relies on parts of the few and the few cannot maintain their status without becoming involved in the privacy of public affairs through the creation and maintenance of ways and means necessary for the process to move in the first place. 98.2
