the Pool of the Body

the Pool of the Body

A Good Earthborn learns about his•her body.

The Earthborn sees a Pool.

This Pool was perfect from the beginning, needs no alteration.

Any alteration comes at a price, the price is often unknown.

The Pool knows many many many layers.

Inside the Pool, many Machines.

Each Machine, many Buttons.

The Pool is complex.

Water enters the Pool. The Pool drinks, is alive.

A Better Earthborn knows how to share his•her Water with the World.

If the Water has been polluted, the Water is not Water.

Food enters the Pool. The Pool eats, keeps growing.

A Better Earthborn licks Foods of many tastes, sees the Beauty in Food.

If the Food has not been loved, the Food is not Food.

Alcohol enters the Pool. The Pool dances, changes colours.

A Better Earthborn understands that the Alcohol becomes pollution,

if there is not enough Water left for the Pool to drink.

If the Alcohol is drunk alone, the Alcohol is not Alcohol.

Herbals enter the Pool. So many different kinds!

The Pool's Machines are changed by each Herbal, each unique, each hitting Buttons.

A Better Earthborn learns the Herbals, how they change the Machines, how they hit the Buttons.

If the Herbal is not weighed, the Herbal is not a Herbal.

Synthetics enter the Pool. The Pool screams.

A Better Earthborn sees the difference between Herbals and Synthetics;

knows which is symphony to Buttons of the Machines, which is laser to the Buttons of the Machines.

If the Synthetic is not used sparingly, the Pool collapses.

Too much Water, Food, Alcohol, Herbals, or Synthetics become Poison, the Pool collapses.

A Best Earthborn knows which Waters to drink, which Foods to eat, which Buttons to press.

The Pool takes the shape of the shapes that enter it, and the Pool is the Earthborn.

The Three-Eyed Earthborn looks up from the Pool

Sees the World around him•her

Sees no difference.

They are One.
