comet's koan of sorrowful light. 
waiting on the elevator, which gives me pause to think a lot, i hear them talk of more camera's, and thought how the surveillance state produces cynicism, unreason, and fear. all together. people don't trust the government, the neighbors, the water, or even the dogs.
most things are in a savage state of being, true, but you must trust the good things, like dogs and water, even if the lake is corrosive, it's still healing as well. absolutely we cannot trust the government, it is evil running amok. but we have to trust some fellow beings, not the savages on personal devices and consumer drugs in weaponized vehicles off course, but dogs, of course, dogs may occasionally be weaponized, but will never be fully humanized, they'll not be corrupted like us. use your instinct, for dog's sake.
