Off for Oysters & Adventures
4/15/2023 Day 15 - a quick one before I head out the door
Make Believe Con/Jur/d, 4/15/2023 Once upon a time, we thought we were constructed from a mother and father and the attendant community Later, we were lost royalty, kidnapped orphans, heroes children adrift on an unfair river, churning with adventures For a while, we believed certain lies, popular methods for rearing unruly beasts, manger carrots, and crucifixion sticks Made believe we were good, we were evil, the activities leading to our particular cosmos sinful, unless sanctified as delightful We were particularly fond of the game called grown up, where one pretends to know, acts otherwise, and submits to the inevitable Afterward, and again after that, realized we weren't constructed emerging from the unknowable, unknowing, unruly wilderness Evershifting stories of carbon, oxygen, DNA, bacteria, play mycelia, viruses, pain, pleasures, sun, rain, birdsong Bafflement, battles, victories, compromises, theology science, maths, systems of health, of disease Of karma, consequence, feelings, thoughts whole ecologies of ephemeral ideas Tears, smiles, similes, metaphors bodies and their random beliefs Held together by, with, in, despite congealed, crystalized, bathed Only love, love, love, love and love.
Much of the aforementioned, love
