Imagine a giant ball, clear, large enough for you to stand inside. You walk, you run, you fall, you figure out how to direct it just about where you want it to go. Now imagine the ball is many times larger and there are a dozen of you running around inside. Now imagine another increase, and this time there are 7 billion of you inside this ball. Behold, the earth.

gently rocking floating
in each other’s lap

Think of the law books yet to be written. These are the microcosmic histories of the interactions within the human race, as political histories are the macrocosmic. How will we interact with our selves and other species and the world? See the invisible hand—our hand—writing even today.

The world is more
subtle nuanced interwoven
than we knew
I cannot draw a box around it
that’s why each day new poetry

:- Doug.

Our family knows more than they think they know about the direction of our health.
