In uncertain times you need to know what is necesary for your emotional and spiritual growth so that you can build both your vitality and integrity, thereby empowering your self-discipline. As things change rapidly around you you need to look at the qualities of your emotional strength and resilience and improve those areas that are in need of growth. In times such as these, have money, wealth or secured resources is not enough, having mental clarity, emotional balance, good health and psychological resilience are those invaluable tools that will enable you to know true stability and enduring prosperity, for we think prosperity is linked to wealth and money, it has being made to be like this since the late 18th century, but this model is flimsy: true prosperity comes from knowing who you are and what you can do with what you have when everyone else has lost their balance, money or previous lifestyle  or is having less, for in the case of human growth, individually and socially, less is more, if you have the clarity to know and express it.

Uncertainty

is an opportunity for knowing

uncertainity dwells in everything

trust it as a principle of wisdom and action

Democracy  since its first inception in Athens

has forged itself to economics

that is human nature

but if democracy is to

evolve

it needs to go beyond

choice,

the rights of the individual

the freedom of travel

capitalism and its gifts

but fully embrace

non-violence

non judgement

and the creation of

a modern charter of privacy and self-determination

that is universal to all

the traces flow everywhere

in shadows and in light

in footsteps, half remember sentences

in memories and futures dreamed

the traces flow everywhere

once the hunters slowly become the hunted

and they are forced into narrow canyons

like spear throwers or whalers in a high sea borne canoe

the fatal strike

slips gently

traces flow

with a slow and worn breath

traces no longer

are to be found

but in the echoes

of their

fears

where are you now?

where do you sit

on the seat or in your thoughts?

are you mind and body

or thought and the thinker

in time, in space, and in the place you are now

all of these are actively seeking you

you who are timeless

you who are beyond space yet made it

you who need no one place

but are in all places

we, each of us

are

in between

the was and when

the is and now

the why and how

there is a path

seldom trod

or cleared of undergrowth

it is not glorious or feted

it is narrow and stony underfoot

full of dangers and foes

it sometimes offers friends and insight

on the trip to those that make it

for life is the path

that if you tread it

you will be exposed

to reality and its afterglow

take time

and stretch out

with your breath and mind,

a minute, an hour

a lifetime, a day

see it stretch and warft and weave

from here to there, from belief to unbelief

the time you hold is fluid, active

reactive, a mold into which thought

pours itself to be

felt in the world

taking time

and weaving it

and opening up your mind

time is the substance and the tool

for you to become

a man, woman or child of your time

make it so according to your thought

your will will then ignite

the field of time

and life will become alight
