laws of things

I'm not soothed can I soothe myself? perhaps I teeter completely controlled by the will of a breeze knowing too little of mechanics weights, measures, fulcrums long ago I taught my friends the art of seesaw... "move a little then you have balance" I put more on my side all mixed up with concepts I'm on the ground the laws of everything a mystery ...in this space away from the space I see all moving parts recalibrate and arrange perhaps.the.space.is.not.right.for.me

Don't you believe in for a second. Its perfect for you, because you can arrange it to be perfect. You do it in your mind already, don't you? You work it through, with thoughts of how it should be, so don't decide its not for you. Fix it you know you can ! Wen

Maybe when we get too close to a problem, we may need another vantage point. Poem starts either a question, but solves itself at end. Very excellent writing.

I can relate to this as someone who could be easily swayed. It's not easy to find what really governs our lives or to define our life's work. I have always wondered about people who seem to know what they want to do right from day one. Thanks for making me smile this AM.

It appears you may be "lost in space" DD...but why listen to a guy named Lawless comment on the "laws" of things.

Shouldn't you know a thing well to reject it? (Laws) (That reads like the start of a sad poem haha)
