One of the grandest problems facing the world

​

is that it has become

​

so incredibly small for some

​

and so unbelievably large for others.

 

​

If I knew the real significance of these words

​

I would tell you

​

but I am not there yet

​

be patient – I am working on it.

​

 

In the meantime, I feel that

​

worldliness and worldliless

​

are in a death-throe

​

pummeling away at our humanity.

 

​

In this confrontation,

​

the fronts have no boundaries

​

the alliances have no constancy

​

the militants change uniforms, ongoingly.
