    Ah my love, but ave you tasted the ambrosial nuts of infinities graces, in a garden not sculpted by the consolation prize of an oppressive patriarchy but the living rainforest unmolested itself promising love poetry and sublime culture and wit and living plays with myriad sublime commentaries and communication and wisdom stories unique for each of it's millions of species in better than angelic chorus all around and better visual languages too than the best human art leading to better Definitions of Divinity than even the most holy problematic ones of we Monkeys made Human by male boastfulness if we could only be a little bit better and less oppressive with our Kingdoms and Money Systems and Overpopulating and Patriarchal Macho Fantasies all the time? No, well I'm not sure I ave either but it's worth a shot to try though is what I think.

    This being human is a guest house Every morning a new arrival A joy a depression a meanness some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor Welcome and entertain them all Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture still, treat each guest honorably He may be clearing you out for some new delight The dark thought the shame the malice meet them at the door laughing and invite them in Be grateful for whoever comes because each has been sent as a guide from beyond ג׳לאל א-דין רומי

    He’s Clowning but Drowning, after Stevie Smith Nobody heeds him, the dead beat, But he mustn’t grumble: He is much further out than you thought but should hush and be humble. Dumb prat, he never liked carking And who will care? It must have been too hard for him his hope gave way, Well, meh. Ho, ho, ho, ho! It was too hard always (but there’s no point in moaning) He was much too far out all his life and is drowning but clowning. partly by John Davies
