Directions
- a path;
How shall I live?
Who shall I be?
Where will I be? 

I chose before
- as a child, spirit;
- an adult, service;
- when older, other forms
of service. 

I need to chose
again;
- three lines
of service
seem now done. 

Spirit
still calls,
and I give heed;
but what else
might I be?

Storm clouds

We had a storm come through yesterday. I had to make sure the yard was OK beforehand, so I actually missed the best light with the strongest contrast, but here's a couple of less impressive photos. (I like cloudscapes - now that I've finally learned to trust mobile phone cameras, I should keep one close at all times)

[Content Warning] A Sacrifice

Sacrificed
am I
to the new almighty
- the Dollar. 

Sacrificed
is all
of value in
this World. 

Sacrifices
are we
to this times' plague
- inhuman greed
- wilful blindness
- and discarding
  people and mores

[Content Warning] Superfluous

Superfluous
am I
 - not to current needs,
but to current values
mores and norms, 

Superfluous
am I
to times when
fantasies
of worker dilettantes
who work not for pay
are joined to
dog eat dog savagery
in fields intellectual
aka "professional",
and all are
expected to mind read
secret data
that confidentiality
prohibits
making public.

[Content Warning] To sleep?

To sleep, perchance to dream?
Nay
 - to stop,
not work
 - no overtime,
 - no deadlines,
 - expectations
   none
THAT
   is the dream.
