Transnegotiation
You say, the Universe has provided all these Tools for you.
All you have to do is Use them.
I say, but I made my own Tools.
I’ve been showing them to you.
I don’t even know how to Use your Tools.
They are too big, too complicated, un-understandable.
Mine are held together with twine, scraps.
They fit in the hands that hold them, Small.
Perhaps we could show each other our Tools.
Describe the mechanisms, features.
Demonstrate the functions and processes.
To create a shared Language.
You say, ah now I see. There is also a wild shadow.
And you have Big hands now to hold the small.
We shall refine the Tools you have, Together.
You take me up without Deluge. A feeling of Liberty.
