What does it feel like to wake up into your skin?

Your day?

What do you feel first most days?

Is it in any way influenced by gratitude,

or totally given over to worry,

anxiety about your shortness of time?

 

Is this life the one you had in mind as a child?

When did this that you do to fill your days and years become your dream?

Or is it your nightmare?

Or something in between?

If so, which parts are closest to your dream

and what were you doing

and how old were you

and who did you live with

as this became your dream?

Were these relationships good dream mentors for you?

How did you get to this day, this place, this vocation?

When did the nightmares start

and are they something more than the fear

of your own cherished dream’s loss?

 

What is that one thing that sets you apart,

that is your unique character fingerprint?

How is your identity unique from all other identities alive now,

or in the past,

or in future generations?

And, if your uniqueness is no one thing,

but a constellation of attributes,

characteristics, dreams, fears, wisdom,

aspirations, relationships, memories,

then how is any one of those unique to you,

and if none is,

after due consideration,

then how are you not part of me

and all that is related to you

that is also related to others

that are less directly related to you,

on back to the emergence of memory capacity itself?

 

What do you imagine was that first memory?

Do you think it was of longing or belonging,

or somehow both,

like the contentment waiting within harmonic contention,

resolution waving toward our future,

still waiting in noncontentious background?

 

Is this content intuited as in-format-ionic,

to know and love nature’s wise re-solutions?

Evolution and Revolution each grow, respectively,

Yin- and Yang-tempered resolutions,

optimizing balanced incoming diastolic form

and outgoing memory-folded content?

Really?

 

It’s that prime permaculturally balanced,

optimizing enculturation’s meaning

by minimizing  future’s monoculturally rapacious dissonance?

Really?
