The Line

Lines… linear.. algebra.
The matrix. What is real; what's not?

Anyhoo… (as my grandmother used'ta say)

Where is the line? Stupid question. Draw your own.
Sorry, you'll have to draw it again. And again. And again. And agai-

This piece is supposed to be about drawing your own lines.

You've already done it with food. (maybe)
I bet that line has changed a few times.
When you were a kid, you could eat anything.
What do you allow to pass through your body?
Where do you draw the line?

What other lines do we needa draw?
Damn, a lot of 'em.
I already drew that one… I gotta do it again!?
Yep. Things have changed since then: draw it again.
In case you've wonder – you'll have to draw it again tomorrow.

The digital world moves fast…
No matter how powerful da macheen compute, it honestly doesn't matter.

What matters is where you draw your own line…
…and you must draw it, endlessly…
in every scenario you find yourself in.
What do you allow to pass through your mind?
Where do you draw the line?

Sometimes you might find you've stepped over your own line.
That's a'ight. As long as – you remain aware of where you last drew it.
You may draw a new one in front of you, or, you might take a step back.
Choose your own adventure.

As my grandfather instructed me:
Protect the body.
Protect the family.

Now I'm adding to that… I'll draw another line.
Protect the mind.

And hey, protect the Earth and water too.

Lastly, talk to people 'bout dem lines with no judgement.
Ask where their lines lie. Why not? You'll only grow together.
