The sway of light and the return of the chosen piece of chocolate.

We had tried this before.

The flavor has been improved, how we do not know, it is now beyond compare.

Breakfast may be an egg or two, a crumpet, a bowl of crunchie grains, but the special moment at three in the afternoon is like an Olympic gold medal of a treat.

You may not eat chocolate, you’ll have to take our word for it and live vicariously through our smile of tasting the ultimate delight.

Goodbye for now, it’s time to board the transcontinental blue train.

Sleepy and with an almost hallucinogenic wandering mind, we read a few pages of an economics text book.

Astounding what one gets from things when in a state of mind that normally seems unsuited for the task!

We now have new ideas about economics and human behavior. Although admittedly, that happens every day.

Somewhere in the house-building project nearby there must be a hidden logic, efficiency or an attempt to make work last along time.

It is taking longer to build that house than it would have done 50 years ago.

Perhaps the construction business, when it come to houses is not very innovative.

And, perhaps they should sleep less…

Flapping in the wind, the sail of the empty yacht might tear if it were left.

We went aboard.

We tied down the guy rope and washed the deck.

The motor started without hesitation.

We tied the vessel to the harbour wall an hour later.

Two months later nobody had claimed the yacht.

By maritime and land-vessel law we were the rightful new owners.

We tried hard to find the original proud yachtsbodies, to no avail.

We waited another six months, just in case.

Seems we own a 20 meter yacht.

Let’s make things satisfactory.

Curling up under a blanket by a campfire, with friends and hot soup.

We know we are in a magic world of ideal ideas and wonders of willing.

The embers seem to speak, but we do not bother to guess, see, or hear the words.

It is just a wave of Goodness and possibility.

We are enjoying the moment that exists and our dreams for the future are bigger than mountain ranges, more solid than castles and beyond anyone else’s imagining.

This is it.

Time to demand the obvious.

Simplicity, and, don’t keep doing what doesn’t work.

Tax. It is said everyone hates it. Whatever the case, make it simple – flat rate 10% over a certain income, no deductions, ten minutes to “file’ your taxes every year.

Legalize all drugs – end the “war on drugs”. Control, help addicts, open clinics, close many prisons and stop creating the biggest profit centre for criminals which is trading with and dealing in illegal drugs.

In other words, let’s start forging a Better world, where sense rules over vested interests and stupidity.

You in!?

Good!
