Lucid Schemes

  PunditsRus

Explain to me the differences if you can
between “root cause” on the  one hand
and on the other: symptomania.
 
Between mess in the kitchen-- floating 
pots, pans & kettles on the one hand and
on the other: holes  in the roof.
 
Between when it’s raining and the sun
don’t shine on the one hand  and on the
other when  it’s not.


We’re at war,  yes?
War on Poverty,  War on Affluence.
War on Stupidity & Ignorance. War
on Human Nature: Greed, Envy. Desire. 
Class War & Crimes of Fashion, War against
Handicapped  & Learning Disability, against
Drugs, Discrepancies & Inequities
 
We’re mad as hell & not going to take it
any  more.  Peace? Peace?   There is no
peace. 

Rigor on the one hand. No one will deny its
role in the education of all ages. A village of
robust rigor ratcheting up for excellence.

On the other hand "prerequisites of creation:
playfulness,  love,  concentration, practice,
skill,  using the power of limits, using the
power of mistakes, risk, surrender,
patience, courage, trust & a
harmony of opposite
tensions."                
    (S.N. Nachmanovitch)

 
I don’t have a leg to stand on. My house is built
on sand. Even f  I’d invented   E = MC squared,
say,  I’d  still be a bad driver, poor listener: A.D.D.
as far as the political issues of the daze are concerned:
my impoverishment I have with me all ways. 
No doubt.
