Don’t waste 2. We’re part of, not separate from 3. The best parts are not displayed 4. We’re animals like otters She was from the Old World, pre digital dominance, now the insects buzz of AI between us and what we want to say reminds of mosquitoes thick in the summer night in Minnesota:, warm air hinting at future lightning and thunder shaking the propane scented cabin, skunks walking across our motionless feet, body shaking with repressed laughter, and the fresh caught Crayfish boil, where we’ll learn a lifetime’s worth of important lessons. 1 Quote thegateless.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
