Monks and nuns,
ascetics and miscellaneous humble proletariat folks,

to avoid appearing too curious
too available

Says Csikszentmihalyi,
"Social scientists

between [Yang-ego-form] differentiation

Future selves recycle past dynamic imaginations,
Greek Gods as muscular Yang athlete images
evolve from older internal messianic bodhisattva Yin,
double-edged incarnations of power.

Today we hear Positive Psychology is hot.
