Helm
We are guided, directed, steered through life in various ways. We are not rudderless. You and I have considerable responsibility for our ways.
There are ways in which we are in a boat together. Those ways seem worth talking about. With whom would you have a word about our ways. We have responsibility for the working of our boat. A certain amount of cooperation seems sensible.
Direction is important. The source of direction is important. It's important for our own boat and for the ship of state. Who steers the ship of state? "The ship of state" is a metaphor for what? What is a meta for?
We know what a body is. We recognize a body of water. My dictionary describes a body as 'an organized physical substance.' In a body material is made whole and single. Many bodies benefit from intelligent direction. We are part of the body that comprises the ship of state. Who shall be at the helm of that ship?

Power
There is power.
You have some.
Take charge of it.
Get better at directing it.
Recognize it.
Power manifests as movement.
You can detect movement.
You have all you need to detect enough of it.
You can detect it.
You can recognize it.
Power is everywhere.
It is inside and outside.
It is above and below.
The power in you seems to vary.
You may feel a vibration within your body.
Or feel a movement finer than a vibration.
You may feel it in certain areas.
You may feel it along your spine.
You are aware of flexing your arm, of running.
You may have felt the power of your car as a kind of vibration.
The car may become mobile with power.
You can learn to drive.
There is a power with which you think.
That power worked before you thought about it.
You can learn to direct you thinking.
You may, for example, purposefully think rationally or logically.
You may note that your ability to detect power is less than perfect.
You may know that your ability to see, touch, smell power is less than perfect.
You may have heard talk of atom power without having heard the actual power.
Have you thought of tree power?
Have you detected the movement of that power? the process?
Have you seen the actual power?
You know something of the power of burning wood.
You may known that your vision of the tree is not a true vision of tree power. It may not be a true vision of treeness.
You understand that there is more to reality than your vision of tree.
Your ability to understand and use power can improve. You do not have to perfect it. It is likely to get a bit better on its own.
There are those who purposefully learn to better know and use the force with which the function.
There is an ongoing tendency to do so; something like growing up.
That ongoing tendency is a process with which one may learn to cooperate.
Not to fight against the process may be wise.
There is a functioning force with which a caterpillar becomes a butterfly.
The butterfly seems to go with the flow and so may we.
Cooperation is a human way of dealing with power.

Appropriate Trust
The power in knowledge may be tapped by organization.
The power of knowledge is manifest through use.
Gather and share valuable information through cooperation.
Communicate to organize. Talk honestly.
To talk effectively we need more than trust, we need skill.
What is the source of skill?

Taxes
I thought that it was good that we, the people, cooperate by pooling our money to improve our chances for well-being and happiness. I did think that we would keep a better eye on it.
I still think that such cooperation can contribute to our health and happiness. However, letting other people use our to pay a few Colombians kill many Colombians does not make me happy. Letting a few people in the U.S. pay a few Pakistanis kill other Pakistanis in their own country does not seem to be contributing to my good health.

Wealth and Resources
I imagine that you have some interest in wealth and resources. You probably have some questions about them. I do. Some of them may be similar to yours. Some the the questions that I have about public wealth and resources are listed below:
~ What are the wealth and resources in the U.S.?
~ What wealth and resources are fairly available to you and me?
~ Which parts of wealth and resources have not been monetized?
~ What percentage of U.S. wealth and resources are in the hands of the richest 10% of us? How much more do you want to let them have?
~ Is information a valuable resource? Where is a trustworthy source?
~ Which are the main resources in the U.S.? Who controls them?
~ Is blood a resource? Is life? Is sweat? Is time?
~ Are cooperation and organization resources?
~ What does cooperation have to do with wealth?
~ What questions do you have? What answers?
