Calm Waters

I am the calm waters amidst a sea of chaos.
Not the perfect kind of cosmic chaos
but the kind of disorder that arises from millions of people all trying so hard to establish their egos on a permashook etch-a-sketch through a predictable, ordered life.Cosmic chaos cannot be trapped, tame, caged, buttoned up or down, ordered.
They say, "tis the season for giving" but many of the ego creatures just keep doing what they have been programmed to do; they take and take and take for their own perceived progress, blinded by materialism.
Progress, however, can only be achieved by giving.
The natives proved it for thousands of years through their culture of free giving.
Living off the land, taking from it but understanding the balance that must be achieved by giving back equally.
Giving without any concept of charity even.
No concept that, "because I gave, I will surely receive..."
No.
That is an equation for a failed system.
Give until it hurts.
The natives did it.
Once they had given everything but the buffalo skins on their backs, other members of the tribe took notice and would start the cycle of giving once again.
What happens in such a situation in 2010?
Those with nothing stay with nothing because they are perceived as nothing.
No things perceived as no wealth.
Wrong.
I say: No things =FREE! = wealthy beyond measure
