Before you kill your-
self out of your mortal free-
dom, consider this:
Complacentia
is an old word for the art
of being pleased. If
truth is a movement
not a state of affairs, it
eddies, subject to
underground springs. As
a child, I watch the surface
of streams along the
way. As a child, re-
leased into being my own
open whole. Now go.
