[hometext] => not only are we in the same boat, we are the boat...
[bodytext] => I took in the morning as my partner was rousing, and drew her close to me as she replied in synchrony; and we kissed and laughed over coffee as we said our work goodbyes, happy in our union of truth and all its lies; and shouldered all the tasks that fill the moments of our days to endure each other’s absence in a thousand, wordless ways, until the blessed reconnection of hearts in lovers’ pulse… everyone’s connected, to everybody else and the child in the Philippines scrounging plastic on a tip, has the hopes and fears of everyone silent on her lips; while a young boy in Africa takes the steps to being a man, and he stumbles and he fumbles but we do the best we can and the beaten wife in Paris concealing bruises on her face, is witness to the truth that every contact leaves a trace… every dream has a beginning, each nightmare has its end and we are often close to breaking, but more than likely bend while the lives that have existed or likely to come forth, hold the seeds of their demise in the fields of their birth we sense a vague connection, frustratingly absurd the path is intuition, but we just can’t find the words; while each atom of our bodies holds a universe of space, like the earth holds the moon in a lingering embrace like the butterfly held silent while the hungry sparrow sings, the portent of disaster in the beating of its wings; and Gaia shifts and rumbles as we tremble in her pulse… everything’s connected, connected to all else.
