The Endless Flowing River

Safe Delivery of Every Packet

When we began, we were merely learning to navigate negative space. Today, I find that there are many still struggling to make way past our own very real physical threats, such as the noose of a lynch mob.

• Under duress (while being drugged and beaten) it's not only possible, but likely for us to confess the sins of our captors, rather than our own!
• Even our prayers (while spoken privately), seem to be heard as if spoken by others - simultaneously, and unintentionally.
• And our own behavior; inextricably bound to our history, heredity and environment becomes unpredictable, as if a replacement has presumed the role of helmsman for humanity.

Sound Containers

Careful use of these containers may be the only safe way out of the conflicts in our lives. We've already proven to ourselves that referring to God as someone who curses wasn't a good idea, but don't we have another chance by way of this medium to establish our own truth?

Don't worry, we don't have to get it right on the first try. I've come to realize (and accept) that sometimes drafts return from our servers to my mind with something amiss. That's okay! If it's worthy of a rewrite, go ahead!

Sometimes that might happen the following day, after a good night's sleep.

Nurturing Space

My concern is for those who encounter work they don't recognize. "What's missing from one's mind in this nature?" More information? Perhaps, but what about knowledge and wisdom, so take your time - keep it safe, and do it well.
