Dear D

Today I wish to update you about games, battles and rhymes. Nursery that is, because although young and innocent is their fame cruelty is their game. Then again maybe being too harsh as copy and paste is common knowledge from the past. Anyhow before rambling on in galloping rhyme I need your attention for a little while to be mine.

In our day and age, most of the games played existed already in your time and reality. Conceivably some played in the Scottish Highlands were not in your native Florence but all together enjoyed the same century. Certainly, dramatic occurrences were modified leading to these games. So were ballads and nursery rhymes, the famous Bubonic song (Ring, Ring o Rosie) has a contemporary game for our Covid time and is played *tag u are it.

Games have been played by all layers of society and modified for ways of usage. In a travel adapted form or to earn money with, for casinos or technologic converted. To entertain by the millions instead of a few dozen, between nations and continents. Action, adventure, role-play, sports, strategic or puzzle games are a profound and utterly important part of our society and individual being.

Cutting to the chase or chivy as they use to say…everyone has a choice which game to play. According to one’s nature or nurture making that choice is like accepting being born a prophet or a martyr. So that makes the formula that adopted, accepted and adept is negative whereas adept, accept and adopted is positive. The latter being something new and willingly adopted according to the experience and reflection of the past, brews the formula which is the comprehension of own essence.

I for that matter have been tagged as a chess player whereas my game is the adventure and action nearest to my being and have been. Guess the queens of the game come out as victim where they have bullied all the same, despite reality. Reality formed by illusion as internal can be hidden externally for the eyes wide shut.

Learning the rules of chess takes but five minutes or less but mastering a lifetime. So is becoming grandmaster of one’s voyage, route and truth can only found by sailing coordinates intuited.

May intuition find u,
