  'this be that, Duality
  of Choice
  to seek or to hold
  to venture or protect
  
  this be that, Need
  for certainties
  that stifle, and squander
  these gifted blinks, of life...'
  (always a wonderful surprise
  when I catch
  one of your poetically succinct, treats
  that never fail
  to inspire my humble scribbles, my friend
  hope the New Year
  is treating you well, so far)
  thanks for sharing, dear cherished Poet!

    Thanks, L.B. Yes, it is or as the philosopher, Alan Watts called the "Double Bind."

  It's better to write, just write.... you'll find you write about both and more.... but I'm sure you already know this.

    Thanks, Dusk. I needed that pal I tend to get lazy and let the watcher at the gate screw me around.

  I don't know the right answer. I guess write about anything that makes the mind bulb suddenly light up, a phrase, a glance, a scent ....

  That choice is always with us and it just depends on how we feel when the pen first lands on the paper.
