dear unborn kin

Dear Unborn Kin,

Bush the Second gave us the formula: Keep on shopping while the government wages war. War on what? Why, anything that gets in the way of course: people, forests, lands, ocean, air, species. In the way of what? The Juggernaut: the Beast that focuses on Quantity over Quality, on Money and Power.

We the people are dying of Consumption, but we live our satiated lives of instant gratification.

Can the Intranaut overcome the Juggernaut? We shall see.

Blessings to you, Dear Ones.

Your Loving Ancestor

George Breed 

Chapter One
Mountain trail. Sheer drop right. Cliff face left. Wind blasts, shrieking energy threatening footing. Nothing personal. But real.

Chapter Two
Around hairpin. Out of wind. Safety. What!? Piercing luminous eyes matching his. No advance. No retreat. Heart thumping fear rage. Impasse.

Chapter Three
Nietzsche laughed. Ironic bitter joy. Was this his doppelganger, his death twin? His doom and salvation in one package. He moved in.

Chapter Four
Japan opens doors. Tesshu leaps through. “Zen warrior relentless openness seeks Prussian intellectual fire.” Fair trade.

Chapter Five
2 yamabushi clash. Mountain warriors. Highest peaks of awareness. Alpine thought sword, Fuji no-thought sword. Stand-off. Zanshin.

Chapter Six
Thinking! rails Nietzsche. Not-thinking! thunders Tesshu. Swords locked they stand. 1 and 0 in eternal combat.

Chapter Seven
USA. Two bulls. Dakota field. Horns locked, eyes bulging, foreheads bleeding, snot and drool, shit running down back legs. Relentless.

Chapter Eight
No backing up. Sheer cliff face. No backing down. Sheer abyss drop. The two masters see no opening. No way to close.

Chapter Nine Alpine clash. An eagle flies down, rests on their immovable X-crossed blades. Without-thinking, it sighs. Flies away.

Chapter Ten
"Without-thinking!" the two cogno-warriors simul-shouted, tossing philosoph-swords into abyss. Laughing and pounding each other’s back.

The Beginning

two questions

I have only two questions: Is my heart open to the plight of those around me (not just the humanimals but ALL around me)? Am I following the guidance of the Angel of my Being?
