With apologies to John Lennon, and mutually intended thanks for rich resonance. we're still getting by, etc., "With a Little Help from My Friends."

What would you do if I walked out on you? Would you stand up and sing out of key? I'm really quite sure if you did this to me I would sit down or stand up and dream how to be. Do we need everybody? We sure need sometime to be. Could it be anybody? As long as that someone's not me. What would I do if you came home from school? Would I ask what you learned out of key? You're not really sure when they thought they might teach Me is being what We might become. Do you hear anybody? I just need someplace to be. Could you be anybody? As long as they don't act like me. What would Yang do to fill out his vast form? Would Yin win to flow and fill in? How light might we get to know empathy? Could time's nature unfold us again? Do we need to feel better? We all need some EarthTime to love. Could we be anybody? No, We Occupy CoPresence Today, we re-occupy EcoPresent ToNight Earth's ReGenerate Crown-Rooting Rite to appreciate even more therapeutic co-arising political with economic ego/eco-logical compassion. TransParent CoPresence of Time's Folding Unfolding Refolding PreFold Prime CoRelational (0)-Soul EcoSpiritNature time to rhyme. I think it is true but I'll leave it to you, we could gain a better therapeutic high sustained through future regenerations with a little more help from our more ecotherapeutically self-governing friends and cooperative health optimization policy writers, and investors of both time and that stuff we use to get high off ego-competition consumer games, when we could richly warmly invest in eco-cooperation present co-presence Win/Win transforming games people play. yet too seldom say.
