Ah fair mistress...
Waxing aumber in cold and starry sky...
What becomes of lovers and fools...
To sit yon river bank...
with shaggy dog...
and tempt the old trout...
or even the young...
I remember yesterday...
Twas a village in the Rockies...
and an old man and I...
upon dead mans hole lake.
Shivers...
It was cold then too...
More wood on the fire...
If you please...
The winters breath is cool this day.

The lost child

Well I "found" a lost child at the superstore just an hour ago.
Well I was in a rush to get home and at the checkout when I heard a somewhat odd cry... Not sure what it was about it. It didn't seem like the normal I want attention cry of a spoiled child so I looked over and there was
this little 2 or 3 year old semi asian girl seemingly wandering about crying and sort not gettin any response from anyone. I remarked to the checkout girl "is she lost?" and she sort of blindly nodded and went on with her work.
and I said "well thats no good". Any way after paying I went up to the little girl and kneeled down and
she seemed somewhat hesitant and scared and continued moving about. I didn't move but asked her if she was "lost". And all of the sudden the dawm burst and she wailed irrecocileably. I let her cry and felt I had comforted
her somehow by "recognizing" her difficult plight. Here she is lost and all alone in busy department store and crying and trying not to attract undue attention
because she was afraid for her situation and I think it was a cry for only her mother but somehow hee hee I was able to translate it. Well anyway soon others gathered around and called the service clerck and they began to ask her her name and her mothers name and I saw that I was no longer
needed and patted her gently on the shoulder and said
"it will be okay" and said thanks to the others and left.
I wondered why no one helped her but then being lost is a tricky situtation especially if your well... anyway it seemed that she may decide to stick closer to her folks from now on . It is a most horrible feeling to be lost and especially when you're a somewhat powerless child. I hope it didn't damage her to much.

Ps I guess the strange thing was shes was sort of in denial that she was lost and when I found her she couldn't deny it any more
and was overcome with a kind of terror and comforted at the same time that someone had found her lostness. I think at one point she even mumbled out while crying "my mommies lost." well I wonder if I should have helped but I was afraid that its a rather big store and she might have wandered outside in the snow dark and cold.
Not a good thing so... I felt it was nesessary to intervene.
Its odd that her parents hadn't noticed her missing. I don't think
though that she was abandoned cause she seemed well taken
care of and loved. I suppose I should have stuck around to see
that she was safe but I felt the others who had gathered around
appeared more comforting to her than I and plus I was sort of in
a rush and the service clerk should have training in that area.
Yea and it is a big store probably half a city block or so.

THE ANSWER

Well is the sun rising yet?
yes I guess in Eurpoe it would be rising
you could check it out at the observatory
if you have doubts.
I trust it will rise here in its on good time.

Well as far as the answer goes, the problem it fufills
goes back perhaps some 500 to 700 years.
Then it happened a mass extinction of "conscience".
For whatever reason the majority of society lost its
conscience or not lost but simply relegated it to only
being there one day of the week instead of constantly.

Yes it was the start of the middle class and separtation
of church and state and the reformation and the rise of democracy and mass education and the printing press
and I guess you could throw in the renaissance as well.
It sparked waves of inovation, progress and development. Heck without the need for a constant conscience anything goes and well I guess the rest is history.

Alas though its not working out for the planet. The mass of humanity only having a conscience one day of the week spells
doom for humanity, and much of the planet as well. Why? Well I'm not totally sure, but it seems more conscience is needed to aid "reason" in making more sustainable, better and
ecofriendly decisions, choices and preferences. Not sure of the math or stats on that, as it is just a general guess and observation of 50 or so years of study.

So listen up. There is a ecological deficit occurring largely
attributeable in my opinion to insufficient levels of human conscience so can we bump up the conscience rate to at least 2 days out of the week if not more.

Thank you for your indulgence

Hmmm the spidey senses are sensing something...
something is happening somewhere...
Power has cracked and is shifting somehow someway....
Where is it going?
Winter is coming....

"hold on its hard road
and its steep and hard to climb
and there's people ...."

"and the journey is your teaching
and the road he is your friend..."

"theres roads of canned convience
theres roads which blindly bend"

"these roads are from within
memories can bring you home..."

"but there's people who can help you
givers lenders of your mind...
they promanade with the blind"

"so don't you hesitate
It might be growing a little late
so please take time to see
everything you are to me"
