the journey we've become

[justwalt]

the tide seems to be on the way out...
as the breezes fall stale into the cool night,
on the low horizon, old stars are blinking slowly,
in and out of focus, as their presence and
purpose both spin out of sight

time pauses for its long needed rest...
yet the quiet doesn't feel any more precise,
not that noticing it makes it look so out of place,
but the soul knows that judgment, like justice,
comes hand to mouth, with its sacrifice

what pursuit falls upon a given path...
what prize awarded for the lessons learned,
how many more limits, will we create for the cause,
as we promise ourselves, or pretend, that the
journey we've become, is falsely discerned

far from our sight, is the welcoming sign...
beyond this, thousands more await on the wing,
doubt it if you so choose, to sour the simple legacy...
but the joining, and the joy, is an eternal effect,
as love, and the life, is the song we all sing

Natural selection, as it has operated in human history, favors not only the clever but the murderous." Barbara Ehrenreich

"not we ourselves. . ."

[justwalt]

not to worry...
most humans do not play a natural role
in this earth anymore

[tarbaby]

that is a cheerful thought
I trust nature, even human nature

[justwalt]

I trust nature as well... but human nature is a philosophical theory... a discription or opinion, of what a human would be, outside of the influence of culture.

as soon as one encounters such a human, influence occurs, and the nature of that human is corrupted to some degree.

what is more real, is human behavior, which is porbably 99% learned...
and most of what I was taught, was a lie.
