given the choice
a study in satisfaction
Given the choice,
power over
no one else,
generosity over
hoarding,
sole meditation over
social prowess,
children over
everything,
the silent yet salient invisible over
television,
the lonely unworthy over
whatever current King,
and this moment over all others.
Given the choice,
the company of animals and flowers,
the inner world over
the headlines,
transformation infinite over
death,
watermelon over
quince,
and this moment over all others.
Given the choice,
Lilith and Eve the same girl,
every one of the 7 mothers right now,
where everyone belongs over
gang bang social circle jerks,
remaining in the art of the craft over
celebrity status sound systems,
and this moment over all others.
Given the choice,
diversity and sexuality, natural beauty over
aberration's perversities,
Sacred groves over
religious edifice's artifice surface,
a gentle slow change over
the failure of violence,
and this moment over all others.

Venezuela’s Lost Trillion Dollars and the Crisis Reshaping Latin America
What Really Happened to Venezuela’s Lost Trillion Dollars — And Why the World Can’t Ignore It For a long time, I’ve felt that Venezuela is often discussed in fragments. People talk about oil. Or sanctions. Or migration. Or dictatorship. But very rarely do we sit down and connect all the dots patiently, clearly, and without slogans.
