SA:  ok.
        I see them in our practices.  They are flesh
and blood, too.

spirit,
ghost,
the understanding of 'legend' helps hint to these too,
without the glory part that chats about pride that may
be inflated,
yet, the holding on of these patterns are not only
heritage,
not only culture, not only geographic, but the knives
carving wood in art, yes, something to do with karma
and incarnations, idea, yes, they can live on,
motivations and energies intending where and how we
will live, choice, yes, choice is here, yours and
everybody else's its' a collage, many voices to choice
from, merge, and be original,
SA
