TK: I understand the edge; it is always eyeing my wallet. I understand old values; honor, and trust. They do not rust with Time.
I do not think there is a war between old and new, and I believe we have come far in efforts to end divisions between nationstates and tribes. I know it would help heal wounds if all treaties are honored and all people were accorded dignity and respect.
I understand hanging on by fingernails and how tempting it is to lash out in frustration when blatant machinations become obvious. But there is crookedness in all eras and all peoples.
All we can do is live a right life and be a model for others. (I tried to be a supermodel but kept ripping out of the silk panties.)
It takes many years to understand the purposes for the waysations on our paths. Just don't forget the value of the Love that is visited upon you by your children, and family and friends (except weird old Uncle Harold). True wealth is a hug and a smile and a full belly. If hunger visits, visit me, and I'll feed you and yours.
There are always new victories ahead in the forest, even at night when they cannot be seen. Baldy has lost more than Gates has accumulated, and his scalp, as well. Everyone gets their winning days, though, and you will too, Attiene.
The universal balance is never weighted equally, but it swings our way occasionally. I hope you maintain sustenance and find joy in abundance. And if nothing else works, remember what I do in emergencies.
Inflatable Penguins.
Walk forward where the Spirits lead, Brother Man.
