Day 3273, politics.

Daily picture, Poetry
We all have to come together, they say sometimes.
To stand up against forces going backward or forward too fast or that go nowhere.

But when are there too many together, holding hands, intertwining into a fence?
Do we want to become a fence that, at time, someone else has to cut?

Can you stop when time is unavoidably against you?
Or is there no time in politics?

Day 3261, whoever needs direction.

Daily picture, Poetry
It is often clear to see that the whole is now in parts.

Too much pressure or a sudden shock is often the reason, and while some of the broken parts move on with some functions intact, others seem to lose their purpose.

These parts will only find purpose in someone else's reinventing hands or might fill a hole in whoever needs direction.

Day 3260, against ideality.

Daily picture, My thoughts, Poetry
Abandoned factories are often more interesting than the ones still in use. 

For me, it is the activity, the moving parts, and the workers doing their work in silence that I see projected on what is now, old.

I imagine, and what I imagine is often a more refined version of reality, with harmony as its guide.

Reality necessarily rubs against ideality.
