True Ownership
Manage episode 431105739 series 3435179
Deep, deep, into the light there is a city,
A country, forest, mountain, plain,
Where nobody owns a single thing.
And the residents dwell there alone,
Alone and with their neighbor.
And yet, they don’t protect.
They don’t defend.
They don't pretend that it is theirs.
They renounce and renounce,
And renounce again
With every breath their sacred claim
Upon even themselves,
And by so doing
Claim
The right to the world, the sky, the stars,
And all that’s in them.
And this is the paradox of true ownership.
All else is usurpation.
