Rabbits run, birds fly, clouds float amoeba-like and trees sway in the passing breeze, and while buffalo roamed the fertile plains Man hunted and gethered the necessities of survival.
Subsistence arose and time became an open opportunity for progress, or so history seems to say.
The fact emerges that choice exists--should one understand the conditions surrounding perception--as an opporunity, called chance, for life to elevated beyond chaos and nothingness.
Purpose is a human faculty, but few seize its reins in the fullness of potential that Nature offers--and thereby epochs fade into the oblivion of Hobbes' nightmarish machine or Franz' colonial appartus.
The buffalo have long now been slaughtered into zoology, and so does Mankind face the detriments of self-inflicted captivity, but thought is boundless, carrying actions upon its wings to acheive the heights of Olympian grandeur.
Alas, politics negate the freedom of philosophy and democratic ideals lost in Art's whirlpool of subjectivity.
Every individual bares responsibility in the processes of culture, which if course makes evolution all the more daunting to control and reap.
Man's secret may be power over the constant immediacy of Nature, but this circumstance is a drug for more potent than anything short of true love.
Apollo's credo of wisdom is therefore the absence of knowledge,
as Buddha and Lao and Socrates alike; but the height is unreachable, for one can never actually hold certain attainment if sagacity is really to be obtained truthfully.
Now onward the kingdom of animals frolicks about in the garden of Eden's majesty, peacefully, tranquil, and destined to die without recourse upon the future times.
So here rises the importance of willing for a better world--with individuality.

And hey, I'm ready, WILLING and able!
thanks alot B.E.
yeah, that essay wasn't what i wanted to write, which is why i released it as i did, for free.... i will never charge money for something subpar of my own personal quality standards, and that piece surely still is, but i wanted to provide my friends with some evidence of what i am trying to work towards, so thus the demo-releases. i've got my first book out now, as some people know [lulu.com/photographyisle in case you may not], and the essays among newer poetry and some other aphoristic pieces, plus a few new photographs are slated to form my next work, which hopefully can also see a 2006 release date, if only i could get settled in somewhere and start back to serious editing--but no promises...
anyway thanks again for your comments... ill be in and out of the office all day, busy making pictures and friends on the streets of philadelphia.......
