Dear D

Scanning with a telescope the horizon for my comfort zone is not my daily ordeal but painfully aware most of humanity is…it is like included in the list of capital sins. I will explain myself, wherever you look or listen, there will be advice on how to better yourself in any imaginable way. The worldly way that is maybe preciser said, the herd happy human because deciding to stay independent and be the royalty of your one-person army is high stake risk and called living on the edge.

Obliged to choose to join predesigned life living is the most contradictory though at the same time the most coherent way to reflect human society !…ok we are past the skin scourged as a hatchetman period but each circle, level, compound, cluster, clump, collective has its rules. When one disobeys said rules, you get ignored or balefully stared at or get your ass thrown in jail…neither is enjoyable. That cleared, I would like to quote Dostoyevsky “The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prison“. Am I contradicting myself, nop not! Sometimes words play tricks on me and the syntax escapes my message that I wish to share.

Ok to the point, creating original content is almost a non-existing possibility as anything has been done or invented. The key to original reality is being honest and coherent to oneself, as much as one possibly is able and willing. That said relating to the herd mentality and decency (read civil dear D) because we are in the core pretty much the same cave-dwellers from awesome long ago. My very narrow grip on the biological market of wonder and wisdom does make me conjecture how a jellyfish is a distant relative of the coral polyps…

Obviously, after that comes the thought about us and the chimpanzees…hmmm, well if we have the same use and impact on mother earth we are screwed! Coming to think we are not even close to comparing ourselves to the stingy bastards as we do not regenerate with the ability they do! I mean the chimpanzees are an evolved and balanced member of the fauna forest and the coral, well they have an eminent importance for our ocean health and wealth. So where does that leave us dear D?

Short lives lived with intensity chosen and experience turned into comprehension…to be encoded in stories coming generations will spend lifetimes to decipher. Like the ancient dynasty of Siam passed on…do not weep for the dead for their souls will remain here. The Scandinavian used goose feathers on burial beds to enable the soul to be released. Tears and feathers, Asia or Scandinavia thousands of years have gone by and we are meant to be grateful for our pain because it means we are still alive, so is proclaimed. Stories, histories right and written for us and by us the collectors of codes…

May in harmony freedom find you,
