Hide and Seek

If true, as anthropologists report, hide-and-seek entertains children of all languages and cultural sport throughout all humanity's extended family history Might hiding-seeking ubiquitously regenerate among children as among haunted-hunting adults? Gathering food to hide from hunger, daily plowing for payroll plunder, postulating procreation, BusinessAsUsual playfull as workless, taking turns hiding from gifted godlessness, trusting divine spirits to continue seeking my blend-in brand of common-scented humanity. While too tribally divine to attract anthro-privileged notice, my roommate cat, Simon, also excels at both hiding and seeking, terrorizing my unsuspecting shoe laces as I naively strive to pass him by, leave him behind, as if I were in charge of times to hide and reasons to seek. Is not all science and life, adult and childhood, human natured and Other co-spirited? Some hybrid hide-body/seek-mind as marvelous neurosystemic stimuli for curious re-searching re-connecting re-ligioning response Wondrous where and how our cat-godesses of destiny will musingly pounce Not sure we prefer too soon over being last to win such co-redeeming grace, rejoining conscientific players of cathartic evermore adventure Seeing sight beyond faith-filled hunting seeking hauntingly contagious hidden entrance finding hopeful exit doors.
