but laws and institutions must go hand in hand

and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances,
institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times.

Not in the sense of intentionally speaking untruths,
but in the sense of carrying so much historical

is an untruth - an opinion, an assumption,
a point-of-view based on our past.

I confessed recently to an old friend,
"I realized I was looking at you,
in your visit, through old glasses.
Speaking old words.
Telling old stories.

physical changes and I need to give my spirit time to catch up."
Time for my spirit to look at my friend
through the new glasses of current life experiences.
Old friends are precious.
They become even more treasured when they are wrapped
in the currentness of life experiences
and not relegated to the past in which they once lived.

you forget your separateness:
you are the sunset.

enclosed entity of the ego.
Now the mind is speaking.
