The Default Setting Is Love

Poems and prose showing why
the revolution of modern life
is intelligent, moral and beautiful.

It's an exciting and hopeful time to be alive.
A revolution is sweeping the earth
increasing peace and prosperity
as ever more people are allowed, enabled, inspired
to make more decisions in their lives.
People thinking more is good, right and beautiful
because their thoughts and feelings mix together
in the living thinking system
that is all minds connected.
Talents are not concentrated but dispersed,
each one incompetent on their own
every one needed to add variety to the whole,
creating a category leap
in intelligence, grace and power
far beyond what could evolve to exist
in any individual beast,
completely dependent on everyone getting along,
intelligence and morality joined
in a common endeavor.
Together our destiny
is to wonder and speculate, create and explore,
seek truth and solve the riddles of the universe.
The greater intelligence
rests on individual shoulders
as acceptance to the core of humanity's great gift
the smallness and particularity of self,
opens doors to the beauty and wonder of reality.
Connections are everywhere,
disconnection is illusion,
ever greater mixing
lending context, depth and meaning to the love
enabling the human information system
to dominate existence with warmth and beauty.
So rise above superiority to live equal with all,
awaken to see the light in every pair of eyes,
each one a unique shining facet
of the most intelligent entity ever to exi
