Like Riding a Bike
What do I nurture?
And what do I try to control?
Do I control what I nurture?
Do I nurture control?
And what about freedom
and spontaneity?
Can I control nurturing random choices,
expressions,
entertainments,
performances,
transactions,
relationships?
How much is too much control,
no longer nurturing wealth as health?
What do we nurture through our controlled investments?
Our transactions?
Our daily relationship choices
on through to our annual self-taxing and re-assessment relationships?
And what do we try to control?
And do we control that we nurture healthier candidates
rather than more pathological pirates
of and for our attention retention?
When riding a cooperative intended horse,
I nurture direction by invitation.
Our shared control
is through mutual continued re-invitation,
reweaving of cooperative intents and purposes
to continue our epic adventure
together.
Until we grow time to nurture rest
and control our thirst
and our complex hungers
for yang's control
with and as
yin's nurturing complicity.
