There is a peaceable kingdom between bed-sheets. We all seek to use the skills we
have but which too often go a lifetime unidentified. Left untended, or, even worse, mis-
applied, the world erupts in violence. Sleep the day away. Too much activity causes
impotence. A calendar full of the husks of purpose. Tear the pages off, use them as
fuel. Everything works much better when less is uttered. There's just so much to avoid.
The swaddled newborn stroking the leopard, the bear nosing the bison: all
mute creatures getting along, making a natural go of it.
