Since 1720?

How did humanity change since 1720? How might it change by 2320? How might our stories conduce to a better humanity? Way beyond technology, is there something significant in the human soul our stories can work on?

That little human oddity

Skepticism
That little human oddity
For which the machines
Will need routines
Judgment, maturity to be
Of any beings’ trust
Worthy

Our questions evolve

Footprints in the Windsm # 1930–Bringing us a chuckle

Footprints in the Windsm # 1930

Inseparable threads entangled
Weft: eldering is about gratitude, despair,
being turned, going forth:
entwined we are a green thread,
a red, a brown, yellow, blue, ochre
Warp: loving, conversing always!
story, spiritual discipline:
threads, gossamer and brilliant
So what about these others:
neither warp nor woof
angling across, bringing us a chuckle?
