resemble the Maginot Line...

Musk and Bezos using their loot to prospect for another planet
while despoiling this one.
What are they fleeing?

If so, it is the simple result of a process that is not simple.
So, if this is the case, the search for wisdom is, first of all, a search for the process of "putting to the side" to find the center.
This is the opposite of archery...

At 2 I was an inverse Descartes tot,
they rumbled, they grumbled, they bit the dirt,
I knew they had feelings and intent, too,
abstraction's genius had not yet come on me
in the rubble of the refinery
that had fueled U-boats to hunt cold dark sea
and now was rising to feed new purpose

they come into being

Descartes' mother died when he was one, leaving him to send out a projective schema to meet what he could not find.
Was this part of the impulse to his genius for abstraction, mind/body split?

Hebrew qaran: radiance and horns...
Horns and light both project
Moses' stubs foundations for the huge rack of the law this ram carried...
Ram caught by his horns in thorn bush sacrificed in place of Isaac...
Horny, light, power...awakening

A thread of tension and terror
runs through my life
now that I'm old
it has turned to gold
silken filament
runs through my fingers
as I wander maze

hurt and bafflement
are not gone
but I have happier way
to round past corners of me
catastrophe spared me
even as it did not
