little pegasus

Marleeeey, I've got something for ya
Tut tut tut tut
Come here boy

I wish I could call for you one more time
Hear your collar clinging, running to the sound of treats
Clattering on the floor along with your claws

I wish I could feel your breath, hold your toes
Rub your chin, brush your fur one last time
I miss your weight on my chest

I miss feeling paralyzed by your cuteness
Commanded not to move to make the most
Of the priceless moments of your touch

I wish life wasn't tragic
But tragedy is part of life
And death is a tragedy 

The comedian in all of us wants to rage 
Set fire to the absurdity of it all 
Why do we endure all this pain

Because there's so much more than pain
We also have joy and love and peace
The pleasure of a back scratch is worth it all

Thank you for all of your snuggles
Your mischievous self interest
As innocent as my children's smiles

I can hear you in the rumble of the world
Traffic echos, music whines, and I feel you
I miss you already, my little mythical creature

The Medusa on her neck will always remind me
That you were there for her before I could be
She was mother to you before she birthed our family

You were my companion when I was all alone
Battling the chimeras of my mind
There to lift my spirits whenever I needed you

When we sparred, I felt I saw the wild in you
I wanted you to be feline to the fullest
And our Philonoe loved me all the more for it

I know you're in peace on the other side
We spared you fear and panic
Bidding farewell after your favorite kind of days

Your scent lingers in the memory of your touch 
I want to find you hiding, I want to go looking
I know you're gone, but I don't want to believe it

We could see you were ready the long sleep
We weren't ready to let you go
And then they told us it was time

Tug on that leash on my heart, won't you?
Purr into my soul, snuggle into the depths of me
Cry out in my ears, scratch and bite so I always feel you

I'm never letting you go, even as we move on
You helped form these best years of our life
And I'll keep our lady safe for you now that you're gone

I promise to give her my best, to keep her close
I may give her a long leash to have all her fun
But she'll always be warm with me in the morning

Goodbye Handsome, my little buddy, my fuzzy guy
Your big heart beats on in ours
Filled with love from sharing space and time

An Unapologetic Paraphrasing of Bastiat's Apology for Landed Property

This is my admittedly snarky paraphrasing of Bastiat's rambling apology on Landed Property in his Economic Harmonies . I think by translating the verbiage into modern terms, which I couldn't help but do so with a pinch of sarcasm, it becomes clear he didn't prove much of anything at all. Instead, a reader feels underwhelmed by its points and overwhelmed by the verbosity of his rather banal parables. Even though he shows what actually causes land to increase in value when he describes the improvements of a city/town growing around land, he insists that all the gained value obtained by landlords by that mechanism is actually just the fruits of their past labors, ignoring his own supposition that value comes from the service provided, in the case of Land, by a better site to occupy, not labor. If it pleases you, enjoy the following: The economists of all sorts say that landlord's charge rent for value they did not create. Most say it is unjust, but some begrudgingly ad...

effortless existence excels at execution

if you allow yourself to produce without judgment of the product the product forms without strain as the production itself releases it if you allow yourself to breathe without fighting for air the breath fills you without pain as the breath itself inspires you if you allow yourself to be without chasing after desires the desires arise organically as the desires will be if you allow yourself to think simply without overcomplicating matters the simplicity will navigate all complexities as the simplicity is the solution

Yay Anxiety!

I gave you more than you asked to receive. I misinterpreted you sharing as a desire to feel care through the expression of understanding and thought of you. The distance between us is too broad of an expanse for you to expend the energy to keep in touch.  I get it. I don't agree with it, but I accept it. I don't need to convince you otherwise. Knowing you this briefly has taught me what a longer connection never could. Vision taught me that a thing isn't beautiful because it lasts. It's a simple truth, but it resonates. I wish it wasn't over, but I also see that it is better for me in ways that it ended so quick. What do we owe one another? You told me it amounts to nothing. I think you're right, but I think you missed that a good relationship is never owed. We choose it. It's a verb we do because we want it. It's not about debts to be served, but service freely given. Or maybe you already know that and just don't want to give any more. Thank you for...
