Playing Old Maid Players

"To have Clarity of Intention means to align oneself with the clear and single-pointed purpose of that [regenerative] impulse itself. And the way that alignment occurs, in a [bicameral] human heart and mind, is that the intention to [co-]evolve becomes more important [and obvious and ubiquitous and nutritious] than anything else in this [living ecosystemic] world."       Andrew Cohen, "Evolutionary Enlightenment", p. 111

Life is like a game of Old Maid.
We co-arise the cards and hands
we have been dealt
and have dealt ourselves
facedown,
we have gifted and been gifted.

So now you know,
we made that Old Maid shirt and tie
now in your hand,
just means its your time to wear them
until they find some other happy hapless guy.

Love is like a game of Wise Elder.
We co-arise our carded hands
dealing mutual subsidiarity to co-gravitate together
facedown forward,
faceup backward through time's transactional memory,
gifting to and fro.

So now you know,
we made this Wise Elder shirt and tie
at hand,
just means its our Time to help you wear them
until we find some other happy hapless ego-soul.

To have Clarity of Intention
is to align oneself with equanimity 
to each moment's co-arising Old Wise Elder Maid
cooperative Win-Win game.
