   I was too lost in my own narrative to realize what a colossal mistake Iraq was.   
   The beginning of the end, for the inheritors of the American Empire and it's   
   fantasy narrative.   
   I started to realize it the day they hung Saddam. That was thuggery and   
   gangsterism.   
      
   My favorite positive life affirming metaphor lately is we are baby turtles   
   in our shells, in our nest. The point being to break the shell, dig our way   
   out,   
   scramble across the beach, and make it into the ocean and grow to adults.   
      
   The negative life killing metaphor is termite mounds verses warrior ants and   
   fire ants.   
   I'm sticking with natures plan and staying in the ocean, my body a mere   
   navigation buoy.   
      
   The beat goes on...
