Self Regard

It would be a shame to go on and on and then out longing for grace of some imagined historically significant life missed, or simply more entertaining and health wealthy lives laughingly not chosen, to instead choose to belong in slow learner loyal grace of this love life limply lived place I could have chosen to hurt hurting people by delightfully deliberately applauding the U.S. as RedBlooded Earth's manifest supreme land of patriarchal self-infested opportunity. But we might instead agree this is also a matriarchal land of love liberty, one of a few scattered seed-invested places, warm inviting wombs of opportunity for health incubation with concomitant risks of nationalistic pathology. It would be my unpatriotic shame to exit Matriarchal EarthSoul without fully belonging in graced opportunities wealth-lived risks of predestined integrity.
