We ask one another to be friendly

Footprints in the Windsm # 1967

For every right there is an equal and opposite right. Or rather several equal and plaited rights.

There are people maintaining they have all sorts of rights. Yet those rights end at the next guy’s nose. Both parties have rights, and in a country as big as ours, these rights are complexly braided. To pluck out one from the knot, you necessarily pull out several others. Rights are not alone, are ever befriended. We ask one another to be friendly.


Please pass it on.

Vertical questions

Vertical questions flow downhill: if you won’t ask never before asked questions, the grandchildren can’t ask even deeper. If your stories don’t, theirs won’t.

Footprints in the Windsm # 1966

People are dying.
It won’t go away.
I may be carrying it.
Would you like me
to wear a mask?

Dying is helping

Dying is an individual work
some people keep on helping to the end

What work for me
but writing and reflecting and conversing
