Thus said distant morrow
“You have nothing to fear ‘cause you were not begotten: you have always been here Hence you won’t be forgotten Never, ever by this universe Or the countless others You are the live ash remade from countless fires of dead stars. Fear not: you are the magic that will always be “
The identity question
The identity quetion – the reason for so much violence and death – in the end comes down to this: how to maximise ‘survival fitness’ in the evolutionary sense. Do you maximise survival fitness through single person-centered fitness strategies, or group/inclusive-centered strategies? That should be the question at the heart of identity. And yet, as […]
Himpatience – A lesson
I used to think patience was a game of motion: slow but soon shows up if you wait with devotion. Then himpatience taught me that motion can choose to come on tips of toes, carefully walking without pause and yet, closer and closer as it draws, the slowed wings of light, though intense, begin to […]
On UK’s Legacy: Big 4 or Big 2
On Uhuru’s LEGACY, is it the BIG FOUR Agenda (manufacturing, affordable housing, healthcare and food security) or the BIG TWO agenda (a determined crackdown on CORRUPTION, and earnest implementation of the TRUTH, JUSTICE & RECONCILIATION commission report)? It seems to me the latter is what could guarantee the former and have transformative impact on the country. The importance of tackling […]
Political manenos
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? Oh, I know: it is the amazing, melodramatic display of DELUDED hubris, blinded by an ILLUSORY sense of permanence, and enabled by IRRATIONAL impulses. Weep, angels in heaven, weep for Man’s vanity!

Silence!
There are times when cold, stony silence insists on flaunting its spoken eloquence And there are times when such insistence struts about in a cloak of dumbfounded defiance, mocking my efforts to make sense of nonsense Oh, to move a mind with a single sigh! How I wish my tired shoulders could defy gravity’s […]
Coherence and Identity
This is the heart of the identity question: why do entities tend to cohere? And, why is coherence tentative in relative time? If, fundamentally, the prevailing ‘natural’ tendency is towards incoherence, is coherence the anti-disorder, a stubborn counterforce that tries to impose order, and therefore crucial for our indeterminate evolution?
Dreams…
Dreams, dreams around – abounding Assorted, unsorted dreamed dreams Wings flapping, flailing, falling Winged dreams, windy dreams Buffeted by gales, sailing without sails Dreams remembered, dreams dismembered Hooded, brooding and bloodied dreams Threadbare dreams, threading through dreamscapes Dreams dangling on thin threads, yet battling on Yes, dreams stomping, triumphing over grief And achieving, succeeding, however […]
