We are, always, poets, exploring possibilities of meaning in a world which is also all the time exploring possibilities.

We experience problem-solving sessions as war zones, we view competing ideas as enemies, and we use problems as weapons to blame and defeat opposition forces. No wonder we can't come up with real lasting solutions!
