Life started as a tiny molecule that could process a few atoms of energy and divide. After almost 2 billion years that tiny molecule developed into a modern cell. What started as chemistry transgressed into biology and began to spread life throughout the world. In a mere 800 million years it produced jungles, lilac trees and trillion-celled bartenders.
Life accomplished this by reproducing and uniting with other elements and similar forms. Today, humans have trouble uniting with humans. They isolated themselves in religions, races, nationalities, whatever, to keep their difference festering. Life will not tolerate such anti-life, anti-love behaviour. If we can’t unite, we can’t survive. That’s a law of love and life. It’s not negotiable.
“A mosquito bites and you crush it.
Humanity is now biting nature
and beginning to feel the crush.”

The petalless rose,
released from its obligations to spread beauty,
displays chaotic enthusiasm
to care for its fruit.
“Yesterday’s beauty is today’s decay
and yesterday’s decay nourishes today’s beauty.”

Ernst Hemingway’s book The Old Man and the Sea contains a treasure of associations to life. Here we see it summerized in Treeiska, known to be a veiny language.
It’s a suitable story and picture for the fourth day of July.
(The planks are natural stripes. )
The old man, in Hemmingway’s tale, catches a magnificent fish which pulls him out to sea. He finally subdues the beast and battles with the sea and predators who want a piece of the catch. When he comes ashore in his village, nothing remains of the magnificent fish but the skelton, a story and an end.
“The sea of humanity grows stormier, the crew grows hungrier, humor gets necessarier (sic).”

Bad-hair day?
Stuck between a rock and a hard place?
Your soul wanders between a desert and a nowhere?
Enjoy it!
It’s gonna get worse.

Sociopaths and psychopaths
dancin’ and prancin’ down money’s path.
Nature heatin’ & bubblin’ with wrath.
History’s all in, doin’ the math.
Life’s polishin’ the point of a nasty shaft,
cryin’ softly, soundin’ like a laugh.
“Explanations are cheap at the going-out-of-business sale.
Fresh solutions have not arrived,
the old ones are much too stale.”

OK! Now there are five of us. This is what we’re gonna do…
“A rock can be rocky
a cock can be cocky,
a lock can be lucky to have a lock key,
but a clock can’t be clocky
merely tick-tocky.”

The hand of nature on an erect chimney.
Steps to the height of the sky.
Blushing bricks.
Unseen warmth.
A summer day in the former factory town
now industry-landscaped Norrköping.
“Without humans
cameras don’t see and cars don’t go,
shoes don’t walk and phones don’t talk,
no plates get washed, no cockroaches squashed.”

It’s difficult to appreciate the intensity of life
even when lying in a wild field of tall grass.
You can get a hint by listening to your body.
Billions of cells, busy, busy, busy,
processing food and water, sugar and fat,
so that they can maintain themselves
and the production of proteins
till it is time to divide
and prepare for more life.
I wonder if any organism other than humans
demonstrates incompetence
in administrating the gift of life.
“We pride ourselves on an intelligence that allows (and encourages) us
to kill millions of our own kind.
Call it intelligence if you will.
It’s not very smart.”
