Enough
As a young California human
Too Much Is Never Enough
was ethos mantra and barometer
Yet it’s worth more than money
to feel like you have enough
Said Stephanie Courtney
While it is good to get or be comfortable
Being yourselfNever get too comfortable…enough
The most successful gamblers
Always settle while they are up
Banking on skill and fortune
Sometimes enough is really enough
Not because of surrender
But when analyzed – absolute victory

Tuesday
Post Post Modern (Post Post Modem)
A family of choice over
A family of origin
A cognizant adult decision and
A logical conclusion
A place for structure and
A place for safety and
A place for predictability
A group of persons in
A person’s life
A satisfying of roles in
A curated support system
A red string attached to
A pinky and a pinky
A destiny foretold
A predetermined affiliation
A line of perfect code in
A simulation glitched by
A chance encounter

Monday
Learning
Learning is the ultimate honor
A gift to ourselves and for our others
Expanding minds – expanding universes
Embracing imperfection leads to
Finding certain obvious truths
Hiding as protection
Reflections diverting attention
From all that is actually in those mirrors
Reality obscuring clarity
But when the masks come off
And the barriers come down
Everything is actually quite different
Every Post- is also every Pre-
It's the way of contagion
When we finally meet ourselves
As we sometimes do
We have to force ourselves
To trust our own wisdom

The God Machine
Definitely something living, almost alive. As we interacted with it,
providing input and manipulating in- and output, there were moments of
improvisation both artistically and mechanically. Everything is nuance multiplied. The dark and simple moments were the hardest to control.
There is a lot of technology and hardware, connected like so much
muscle, nerve, and bone, that needs us artists/keepers/mechanics/guardians (and
brains) in order to create unique wondrous imagery that feels organic. It was constant work; fixing and changing and pushing of limits.
Addictive and original, non-replicable interactions and imagery. Every now and then one or the both of us would exclaim, "That's it!" or simply, "Yeah." Dave's occasional, "That's something."
