Persian Heart
I lived my life in a Shroud of stone, moving past endless walls full of frozen screams.
Head turned down, watching in the dust, trails of crystal tears.
I stopped… I could not move… not one step more.
Bowed down, I heard a note… alien to that place,
it pulled me through the wall of frozen screams,
out
into a Courtyard filled with people.
Silently
Watching.
Playing.
Children.
Am I mad?
I had forgotten the Children.
What have I done?
I felt movement beneath the dust,
a flash of light…
the walls shivered, groaned,
fractured into dust.
We scattered,
running,
past piles of Stone,
past dust,
at last…
Shrouded no more.
No longer alone,
no longer held
by fear,
by screams,
nor trails,
of crystal tears.

I read once, somewhere on the 'net, that the way individuals who've done acceptably as judged by the people with power, get paid is:
1)write, or have a ghostwriter, a book of some sort.
2)publish it after a lot of publicity, it doesn't matter if the publicity results are supportive or not...the purpose is that the book is a 'known' in the public infosphere.
3)have many, many group buys of said book using someone else's money, ones that push money back to the author.
4)book drops off the 'bestseller list', yet it's purpose is done...the author has been rewarded/paid.
Who buys this book?
Will it make the bestseller lists?
How fast will it decline off said lists?
How's the above for a possible scenario?
Seems over the top?
Yet I've watched it before, think about the trajectory of the Obama books, how many times must this happen before it is a theme?
@_The_Prophet__ What is the value of this forgetting? That is, is there a learning that happens only when time is?
Time, no- Time and infinite potentials.
Dualities are koans

Thank you Pat.
That one line in the poem...'what have I done?' is one that is haunting.
I keep thinking about the Persian people and how that one line reveals their mindset...which word in that line receives emphasis determines the outcome.
(Alec Guiness' line in 'Bridge over River Kiwi' is similar)

@micsolana Is there anything helpful that mosquitoes do in nature?
Or better question, if they do something useful (IDK what, but willing to entertain that they do something) is this 'something' unique or are they redundant?
Do an Elon, streamline the redundant workers?
What'd be really good is if there were a '65+ special network' of Robotaxis that could guarantee a senior/elder a ride to and from places that was at a extra low rate per mile.
This would help reduce the 'questionable driver' problem when a elder wants to stay independent and at home yet should not be driving.
Also it would help with the FSD adoption rate = a elder feels comfortable in a FSD, so it must be safe and easy to use...that type of thinking.
@libsoftiktok I wonder if this could be applied to humans?
Are humans not considered 'domesticated'?
Therefore, living in a car or having inadequate bedding could be considered in violation of this?
Bet there will be interesting and unintended consequences to this, if it passes.
Hey if you wouldn't mind sharing my shop I would be so appreciative 🥹 I put my heart into everything I make and will have some jewelry up later this week if you like dried florals and gemstones.
May my handmade treasures find the right people 🖤

@Geiger_Capital Does the U.K. have birthright citizenship?
That is relevant to this...how many of these 40% are going to be citizens simply bc of their birth place.
