Naturally regenerative
living systems,
like Earth
optimize global ecological opportunities
as co-redemptive economies
of loving solidarity relationships
expressing mutual not-negative subsidiarity,
within a web of interdependent Win-Win default networks.

If we are born passionate investments 
of past yang/yin regenerations
redeeming economic risks
weighed as ecological...

Suddenly it seems so blurry
And universe seems so big
Walking alone is being lonely
Though I’ve done it for so long

The road is somewhat dancing
Affecting my sense of balance

Post Trauma

At night when midnight comes to call
I lie, afraid to go to sleep.

From the dream chest where I keep
The sounds, the smells, the sights that roam
The dark recesses...

I've told you how desperate
I am for sleep,
And I got a suggestion

Not dappled like a dream horse
but speckled like a rock and not a 
fine large horse like Tom Cable’s
 roman-nosed, Major.

Dad had traded for him- with Tom -

A tower stands majestic and imposing 
seeming asleep for the night 
its silence weighing heavy, oppressive, 
like a pain that would not go away 
like a darkness that goes beyond 
the absence of light.

So you got an imbalance
It's not your fault
It's an affliction even the righteous deal with 
The enemy attacks all kinds of ways

 Draped in the darkness of the night
In a weather so dull and blight
Sad thoughts like a deadly shooter
Come out to bombard her outright

Shaking off their fitful slumber
They rise from their inert stupor
From the reservoir...

A sense of balance is all I need to cope,
so I don’t hang myself with a rope.

Why don't you get down from your high horse?
It may bring you down to Earth,
Because you are sitting up so high

I have much to learn from incredible peers

Individuals with style and grace
Where originality wins first...
