That line about our spines still driving us is divine. You can tackle topics already strangled by others but with such stellar phrasing and just such an idiosyncratic touch that you’re just in your own realm, it’s so enjoyable and so expansive - and I will move closer to those around the fire and try and be fine with the unknown. Sometimes there are no answers and no stories.
I keep thinking about brain-wiring (and heart-wiring), when it comes to this topic. Fear drives so many of us into the arms of the rage-meisters. Love and acceptance is the antidote, but how many are willing to take it? (There also appears to be a generational component, in that societies for a time move toward light, and at other times toward darkness.)
That seems right to me. Fear is, unfortunately, at the root of so many choices. And I believe that's the case even when the choice looks inconsequential. Thank you for the comment and kind words, David.
When conspiracy theory becomes religion, when religion becomes fundamentalist, when fundamentalism becomes rage.
That last word, rage, is startling but perfect. Thank you for the comment, Sherman.

wow. wow wow wow.
Thank you, Zara.
Agree. Whenever possible let the personal and close-by take precedence over the political and the distant. That's the best cure for the void.
Thank you for the comment, David.
