Tiny and trembling, the ant on its leaf-raft, each ripples a new world.... The rush of the current, and the stillness of the leaf, are not the same... The panic of separation, and that haunting feeling, of a colony left behind... The vastness of the river, and unknown horizons? And home so distant now.... The quiver of antennae, sensing unfamiliar scents, carried on the breeze... That fleeting security, six legs gripping...

Our lives were always at high risk in that small town of loonies. Ironically, we still take calculated risks in cities; Where we found our true selves, no longer need each other's pities....

Premium Member A Risky Business
Love is a risky business, It demands a level head. You must choose a partner wisely, Or you might wish that you were dead. If you trust your intuition, It should help you lead the way. If you go into it blindly, You can bet you'll rue the day. But if you meet someone special, Don't hold back the way you feel. When your heart...

Skiing steep sloped slaloms one snowy week, Knowing my courses from every stark peak. In whiteouts of bitter blizzards bleak Which lacked hazards to frighten me to freak. Nothing was too risky to stop my streak, Getting ski heroes poled into a creek....

Risky Obsession
Is it silly to think, Despite being given everything, We could be obsessed with the stars? Far above, beyond our knowledge, Little twinkles of hinted daylight, That we still try to reach. Is it in our nature to want more, Believing that everything isn't everything, And there's always something else to find. Even if we had to break away from home, Venture into the...

Premium Member Risky Opportunity
Viral rabidity dark depression closes in egocentric and economic claustrophobic feelings against overpopulated sick inhumanity, competing ravenous clans overwhelming individual rights opportunities health autonomously-held capital wealth. And then violently politically explodes internally devouring, pregnancy rates collapsing, eating and extracting and divesting, abusing and neglecting our young and old, disabled and vulnerably weak. Global climate health crises close in ego-sequestration rumination recusing ourselves from communication, away from cooperative investment, sharing touch and breath, remembering what makes our hearts race and slowly grow too quiet And...

Premium Member Risky Opportunities
A liberal mind for love seeks Earth's nurturing nest origins astoundingly opportune for producing healthy ego-nutritional eggs. A conservative risk taker, faced with ego's opportunity to fly away from mortal risk to autonomous long-term, or at least short-term, self survival or fight to WinEgo/LoseEco-Other pyric victory, thereby sees ego's Win/Win in-between opportunity to produce future cooperative eco-eggs of self/other-perpetuating identity, A narrower, conserving, view of Earth's universal...

Premium Member Risky Weeds: Opportunity Seeds
Weeds, stupid and dull and ravenous, do not wonder why you have gathered them, They are hardly aware of you at all times. Plants, like animals, do not lie down with awed privilege for you to harvest them. Plants, unlike animals, are transparently unaware of your risky approach in all deadening times, avoiding health wealth opportunities remaining detached from enriching Earth's deep learning recycles. People, unlike nations and planets and plants, are polypathically aware of outside-eco yin-spiritual...
