A number of great points, territory being one. Nature gives freely and models abundance at every turn, an emphasis on giving rather than getting from our writing brings unexpected experiences, connections, and insights for ourselves. Great essay, Mankh.

Thanks much, Sabrina. And as you well know, if one doesn't already know, one has to 'get out into Nature' so as to observe and experience all that.

Yes. One of your best. Stunning revelations: terrortiry; numb and number. Primal wisdom seeded throughout, roots and blossoms.

Thanks much, Nowick. Yeah, i was especially amazed after looking up "subsidy" that it's a subtle continued form of warfare. And that's another thing about writing, i always learn something as am doing it, the process itself teaches me, whereas people typically think the writer knows everything about what's being written.
