So you thought the #soul was kind of single and simple in form? Let's see how Plato begins to describe its creation in "Timaeus".
The soul consists of three (3) parts, roughly a devine, a mortal and a part that is combination of the other two. He proceeds to describe how it is constructed:

Now, you can be proficient
And sound technically great
Some may think that that's sufficient
It's not something that I'd hate
But I do not crave perfection
As that doesn't make me whole
I am saving my affection
For some music with some soul

I report to the office, planning to file a #document that'll grant me permission to land my personal aircraft on private land plus a permit to explore the Deep. The Deep is a dangerous place but I've wanted to venture inside since the day I first saw it on tv.
I do not need
a #document
that tells you
I have the right
to live
or the right
to be me.

I want to cut the #cord
This little annoyance named
A red string
Fate isn't a lifelong #document
It's a #weed nonetheless
& no #court holds her sway
Under the #awning without you
I #can safely #claim
No #lifeboat waits for me
& drowning sounds
Awfully pretty
Tonight

The tether, a #cord, that binds us together is metaphysical, something that only a few can actually see. Mary is one of those people. She, with her Sight Gift, is able to both see and manipulate invisible bonds. This leaves us both vulnerable and at her mercy.

Be sure to #document your experiment with copious notes if you want to graduate, he said to the class. Tim nodded. There was no #warmth in the professor’s comments. He was just repeating what he’d said many times before. Tim managed a thank you, shook his hand & left for the lab.

Her breast full in my hand as she held my arm across her chest and massaged my wrist.
In a public open bar.
I tried to pull away because "groping a girl in public" is a bad look for someone my age.
She put me back. She said the #warmth of her body would relax me.
She was right.
So happy you #patronized
my tiny establishment,
pls have a #seat
what may I serve you?
The #warmth of your welcome
'tis #obvious is sincere
let me #present this #document here
now you own it free and clear
I'll continue your patron

The #warmth of the waiting room was comforting.
"Take a #seat," said the robot clerk handing me a visa application. But it was #obvious from the #document: the planet below was full. Failed applications meant a walk to the airlock. Its use was free of charge.

Sojourn Imagined
In hues vibrant
Where we in thoughts
Hold true and smile.
The betterment of
beauty documented
In our hearts and mind,
Rapacious and tumbling
From tongue

Entrapped in ink.

“The world has changed since you were young, that’s for sure. Maybe I could recommend some books or websites to help you to catch up on?” Bill said, thinking the best thing they could be doing was to learn more about the different countries around the area. He knew Brazil was close, and Venezuela and Cuba, and Mexico, but he didn’t really know much about them. “Yeah, we don’t fight with swords anymore,” Antin chimed in. “I have been reading about the broad strokes of history,” Tannamir said. “The language is so different from when I was young. But the computers here can show me documents in my native language, which is wonderful.” Antin sighed. “Well, the world seems to consist of an absurd collective of leaders – playing dice with us regular folk.” “We’re not exactly regular folk anymore Antin.” Bill looked up where Ar’Thyl and Nyx were intently watching them, “No, I know. But unjust, patronizing leaders upset me, like that ship. They clearly thought they knew the truth. And used weapons to try to put us down.” Nyx hrmph’d. Aludim, we were great! We stopped the Shadow from influencing those people. You and Bill did that. You both proved yourself as capable of being true leaders in the future. Ar’Thyl added. Bill looked up. “I find it suspicious that you two are ganging up on us!”
We are not, Aludim! Ar’Thyl feigned innocence. We just think you two think too little of yourselves. And are slow. Nyx added, before he turned from view. “Oh, the warmth from our Aludims!” Antin said, looking at Nyx where he cowered behind Ar’Thyl. “What do you mean slow?” Tannamir watched the whole scene thoughtfully, but he slapped his stick three times on the floor. “We were here to discuss the attack. I think we’ve gotten out of task.” “Sorry, councillor.” Bill said. Nyx and Ar’Thyl straightened and Antin came up to the front with Bill again. “Ar’Thyl shared images of the event with us. Except for what I just witnessed here in this chamber, I agree with your Aludims assessment. You two have proved yourself capable of greatness, on par with the other young Aludim.” He looked up as Zhe’ra and Castor came in. Zhe’ra looked at the gathered Edroth and the three humans. “Humanity of this age is like a gorse. Pretty and full of thorns, clamoring to anything. But when beaten down, they come back stronger.” #VSSFantasy Dice #VSS365 Warmth #VSSDaily Document #VSSMagic Gorse #Emoetry Patronized #WIPSnips Recommend #WeirdMicro Absurd collective

A document so
Volatile the whole world went
To war over it.
#vssdaily #document #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity
is this life a maze or a labyrinth? chaos or order. endless twists & turns around corners. an invisible cord, a pulling gravity. what will we find? an overworked topiary—a monstrous minotaur? a golden egg at path’s center? paradox of life.

I pulled myself up by the bootstraps (*physically impossible - you try it), had a good hard look at myself and lifted my game. Can't have my cake and eat it (yes you can, you can't EAT a cake and have it later), decided to turn the #corner and give it 110%
They had it #cornered, a #disease so #specific it only killed folk in their 20s. The #effort to wipe it from the galaxy had the centre for galactic disease control asking: was it worth it? After all, people grow out of their 20s. Time to cut the #cord.

Cut the #cord

My mind in #stasis
save it for a rainy day
nothing #specific in mind
pay me no mind

Bill got up, intending to go find Antin and talk to the council. Before he turned the corner though, his mother called after him. “I hope you’ll not be reckless and engage in any fights my precious. Remember, I want you happy and safe.” “I’ll try, ma, but you know – the world is changing fast.” “It sure is. Well, give my best to Antin.” Bill blushed. “I will. Bye ma!” After exiting her rooms, he went to the elevator chamber and pressed the icon of the parliament tower entryway. He felt the slight tingle of Light as it passed through him and by the next heartbeat the doors opened and he could step out into the parliament foyer. Antin was there, waiting. “I haven’t dared go in. Ar’Thyl told Nyx to tell me to wait for you,,, Tannamir is muttering to himself about procedures and wayward governments. I don’t think he’s used to our world yet.” Bill laughed. “He is from another time. I don’t think there were guns in Wales in his day. Oh, mom says hi.” “Oh? Anything new?” “She’s staying in Al’Edos. I’m so relieved. She’s seemed overworked ever since dad died. I hope she can relax a bit here.” They entered the council chamber and the assembled Edroth all turned to look at them. Bill could feel Ar’Thyl entering at the same time as him. So, you didn’t go tell on us? He laughed. We are Aludim. We work together. Ar’Thyls reply was short and concise. “Well, there our saviors are!” Tannamir beamed when he saw them. “The attacks stopped a while ago; I suspect that was your doing?” “We talked to their immediate superiors and managed to turn their view. They’ll be sending an envoy once they find someone suitable,” “That’s good. The other young Aludim left a while back after Nick had a vision. I don’t know when they’ll be back. So, it’s just the Edroth, Georgios and us left to deal with this.” Bill looked around but couldn’t see his ancestor. “And Zhe’ra, surely. And my mom will help in the medical centre if needed.” Tannamir looked up, “yes, of course. That’s good…
