The past generates the future, but nearly always with a flourish.
Life is never static, except on the very, boring, edges of the universe.
In the middle of it all, we have the beautiful chaos of old and new.
Matter and energy patterns procreate,
Through division and recombination.
Old mingles with old, and creates the new.
I desire the new for what it promises.
And I have gratitude for the old for what it has generated.

where in your life you are offered
the most nutritious food
the purest water
the freshest air
warmth and light
and the freedom to express yourself
physically
emotionally
intellectually
and spiritually

And by "I" I mean my intellect,
my thoughts, my creative mind,
my focus on the future.
I do not mean my body is for you,
because I cannot speak for her,
as my body speaks for herself,
sometimes clumsily
sometimes elegantly
sometimes weakly,
sometimes with great strength
and always most independently
and wordlessly.
I also do not mean my heart is for you,
because my heart has already been bequeathed,
entrusted to her beloved DPM
for as long as she beats.
So
My thoughts are for you.
And by "you" I mean the world
and all it's living beings,
great and small
ugly and beautiful
simple and complex.
So
My thinking is for all life.
My body is for herself.
And my heart is for my love.
