A blade of grass sealed the deal.

They wavered, so did the grass in the wind.

It was a natural decision.

So too were the harmonies of spheres undescribed.

Which blade, which sound, we will never know.

Be sure it was a song that revealed the promising horizon.

The sweetest tone of voice, world-saving expression.

It means everything to communicate anything favorably.

Good news, mediocre mentions, bad news.

A sincerely meant tone of voice raises the bad to add a dash of hope and confirms the good as we would hope.

Any other way, don’t even mention it, get re-adjusted first.

Welcome to a new humanity.

It was up and down. Perhaps all over the place.

The paint had splashed and the decorators had already left without a word about it.

The vermillion wall had specks of jade and violet which looked like a spilled intrusion.

Somehow it actually looked shocking, yet a moment later it looked fabulous.

Nothing for interior designers to do now, except to learn from this aesthetically pleasing mishap.

Faster than the others, and smoother.

Progress was good, sure and certain.

The drive was taken in skilled and measured rhythm. No thought missed in allowing for possibilities, which were endless.

It was tiring in a good way.

A task turned into a sport.

Any imperfect clinging to the curve of the road was noted to be improved at the earliest opportunity.

The hardest part was accounting for the actions of the others who were merely getting from “A to B” with no sense of purpose, joy and reward in doing so.

The difference between touching a bow to the strings carelessly as if putting a coffee mug down on a big wooden table, and playing the symphony for violin.

Is a price a reality or just what they ask, you offer or I say?

Are they all, all reality?

Just a thought.

But it’s more than that.

If the Pseudo you spend (a new, so far fictional, currency) buys one cabbage today but bought four last year and next year buys 3, what do you do, how do you cope and who do you turn to?

No free answers. Change is great, change is tricky and change can be hard.

But, boy, does a lot need to change!
