A Fools Quantum Leap into a Future Ready for Possibilities
The ending will usher in a new beginning.
A Fools Quantum Leap into a Future Ready for Possibilities
I dip the ink,
Into an endless well,
I swirl and tap,
For the words drip from the tip of the quill,
I become still,
As inspiration flows into the heart of my inquiry.
The Agora for some is a word only,
It is a meeting place,
For me it is a space where words rise to action,
Where thoughts become audible,
Where courage stands on principle,
And individuality challenges what is unquestioned,
As the search for truth penetrates the heart of ignorance,
Ushering in a new light as a quantum leap,
Into the unknown.
Does order format from control or virtue?
Does cooperation pattern from roles or sentiment?
Is harmony conformity to a structure or flows of recourse?
Is education a business program or liberation from worldly constraints?
Is reality the real world of belief or awareness awakening?
For we arrive from zero point and return to it,
Yet we are trained to see what we believe,
Imagine believing and then seeing,
As the enlightenment of quantum mechanics
ushers in infinite possibility as an impossible staircase,
Leading nowhere,
Yet now-here.
A culture of expansive exploration,
Is an open space initiative,
No questions are off limits,
No inquiry is intrusive,
No doors are closed,
For open door policies welcome critic and colleague alike,
As courage is the mirror of infinite possibilities,
Where there is no fear of exposure or censure,
No insecurity of being seen as the fool,
For to step off into the unknown one has to become a fool.
The fool speaks of the earth as a sphere when many see careers,
The fool takes the risk to step out of convention when many seek to conform,
The fool sees the well trodden path no longer works whilst many bury their heads in the sand,
Yet shifting sands remove traces of what was as the slate must be cleaned to begin again.
Our earth is changing rapidly,
Our economic system is collapsing repeatedly,
For there is no quantitative easing that can supply our excessive demand,
Markets are closing for business as there are diminishing returns to the earth charter,
Yet we live in infinite growth modelling when there are clear limits to growth,
For we have decoupled our humanity from trade,
We can no longer hear ourselves in the tirade,
Many focused on horses for courses in a race to the finish,
Tone deaf to calls to change the form guide,
For we are guided to change one way or another.
One can hide under cover or come out into the open and seem the fool,
For it was Lao Tzu who stated (600BC)
“it is the responsibility of those who know to tell the blind horseman on the blind horse that he is headed towards the abyss”
Yet all fools know the ending is the beginning,
For to step off the cliff of what is known without fear is the beginning of true freedom,
And this is the fool’s gold that offers a higher gold standard
as the real wealth of nations.
