Domination Of The Arcs

Where do we start, and,

then what happens?

A plot arcs in a movie

or novel; the course of

events has a pattern.

Our lives arc the way a

milkweed blossom floats

on the wind and alights.

Civilizations rise and fall

like the landscape..

More realistic to see life as

process or pattern than a 

solid piece of furniture we

sit on all our days. "I am

a verb" as Fuller said.

Our lives ruled by patterns

predictable, sane, rational,

getting us through the day, 

our years....

or free spirited and spontaneous

we go, not sure ourselves what 

we'll do next; an acquired taste 

of freedom gained through 

shedding useless habitual 

masks behind which we hide 

from the world and our true nature.

We know what path we're on, what

direction we're heading if we're 

honest with ourselves. If not, the

Blob of unconscious tendencies

absorbs us, the Godzilla of self

destruction decimates, King Kong

of ego shakes his fist from the

skyscraper to no avail.
