REACH: An Invitation to Pro-Active Living Words argh only the beginning – action also counts. Poetry reveals pissibilities – yet whad we do iz paramount. Don't be stuck in kuntemplation err the realm ah empty dreams. Seek bright stars zen implement yer visions. Join hands with udders ta manifest beliefs. By konnectin' razzolution with aspirations it's amazing whad kun be achieved. Wan-Sze: (imitating the style of the poem) I'z tired ah hearing duh word 'amazin'. . . Nadia: Yeah, most people are bombarded by so many 'amazing' claims that it gets hard to believe anything. In an age of steroid capitalism, discourse often degenerates into advertising.

Will: Using words to move beyond words . . . the irony is almost beautiful! ===================================================================================== from How Weird: Out of the Box of Expectations by T Newfields Summary: A conversation, poem, and image about the importance of integrity and the commodification of consciousness.
