Cradles and surges from below, crushes and enables from above; power moves and moves others. It’s the iron fist and the gentle caress.

Taking aim to ensure its own permanence yet often remaining ignorant or dismissive of the many forms that came before now lying at its feet.
It is helpful to recall that the sun’s very energy will implode and extinguish.
“People Have the Power” by Patti Smith
“Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears
