Be careful where you place your body.
If you live in a forest you will think you are a tree and forget there are flat far flung prairies. Neither is right or wrong.
You can find kindness in cities as well as cruelty in the country, in little burgs who become complacent, closed to different, cities who move too fast to see totality.
Dominion is a dangerous lonely business.
Survive is not the same as to thrive. Plunder leaves the world asunder. There comes a time when there is no more.
