After scanning its face again and again,
I began to scale it, picking my holds
With intense caution. About half-way
To the top, I was suddenly brought to
A dead stop, with arms outspread
Clinging close to the face of the rock
Unable to move hand or foot
Either up or down. My doom
Appeared fixed. I MUST fall.
There would be a moment of
Bewilderment, and then,
A lifeless rumble down the cliff
To the glacier below.
My mind seemed to fill with a
Stifling smoke. This terrible eclipse
Lasted only a moment, when life blazed
Forth again with preternatural clearness.
I seemed suddenly to become possessed
Of a new sense. My trembling muscles
Became firm again, every rift and flaw in
The rock was seen as through a microscope,
My limbs moved with a positiveness and precision
With which I seemed to have
Nothing at all to do.
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.

There’s no point in growing as long as a certain someone is allowed to steal so much of it.
Stop the stealing and the growth will be instant and automatic.
When stealing is accepted as normal and expected other crimes will pile on top.
It’s a good idea to not participate in a negative growth economy. Better idea is to grow.
Musk is telling truths here that are blasphemy. The commutards have convinced 98% of brainwashed collegiate that the economy is a zero sum affair.
Preezy of the Steezy Jo Jo is fixin’ the crops and growin’ the conomy.
I like money and Brawndo has electrolytes.
Welcome to Costco, I love you.
Did I hear a clip of the FreshPrezzy saying we’re experiencing an unpresidented recovery from the downturn? For once, I have to agree with the man.
