electronic clap
for the novelty crap.
a step outside of all comfort zones, not necessarily one of forwarding, but the motion is all that's needed to keep the spirits up and hold on for the ride.
a thousand different new people, the agglomerate of so many pasts, stories and glories, makes the 7.7 billion of us seem impossible. Maybe it is...
... maybe we can only truly see [feel] those that make a difference. One that is special. In their very own way, apart from all the shadows that seem to creep taller over me, in full colour and a smooth movement.

we're at 360 and after flying in the hurricane that came this way (in our current geographical location) we drift and fall lightly in its eye and then... silence. Some are after the hurricanes, and make it their lives' mission, while others, lost in the wonder of all there is and in their own minds, only notice them when it's already too late. Or maybe... just in time.
No more "swooshes" of lines being drawn, no more sounds of keyboards, no more laughter and no sportsmanship but all the fair play - and the winds shield us from the thousand shadows and the grass is a vivid green with a rural view of the sky. Protected by the shield of the butterflies, fully developed, and now are the patron saints of our tender...
peace in joy. joyful peace/peaceful joy - the irresistible path of more resistance that should be both beginning and end.
