a wild patience: Tough and Tender

tough and tender

like an artichoke

like a cactus

prickly and vulnerable

soft on the inside

or maybe a truffle

chocolate shell crumbles

sweet in the middle

worth the effort?

Pondering

How to reconcile the hardness of some financial practices and social norms with the softness of many humans and their spirit.

How to deflect the ruthlessness of corporate greed and almightiness of those with corporate power with gentle souls who do the real work. How to live and love with joy and abundance in a stingy mean society hell bent on destroying spirit. How to live with intention, love with abandon, and dream of peace and well being for all creatures.

I guess just do it one step at a time.
