i am actually left feeling ill at ease after reading this probably adding to this is the fact that you specifically led me here as you thought it significant apparently for my individual attention as indicated by your personal message, this is deep dark powerful and leaves me possibly foolishly curiouser and curiouser , should i be scared, instinct n intuition give my gut the impression of sensing ominous sensations of fear tho i find my survival mechanism kicking in as my grey matter says all that matters is there is nothing to fear but fear itself .itself suggests another separate identity, which is the catalyst for all conflict, non duality no black no white all one lets say 50 shades of grey , all that matters is grey matter anyway, i would wile away the hours conversing with the flowers, if i only had a brain,

young when I worked in research
learned at Mich State
how to shear a sheep

they are so adorably docile
clone my clone
running in the field
alone and wild-eyed

for a nod
for just a tiny
gesture

I envision a dolly clone
actually whistling

And the sheep dog
his jaw hung open wide

in disbelief

Peace!

It is such a good point that kelp and humans hold equal status with the Creator. Only WE hold ourselves above our fellow creatures!
A dose of humility in a clever write by one of our gifted celestial chips!
