In (hyper-loyal) cultures, loyalty is so highly prized that it covers a multitude of leadership sins.

from CHAOS? Trust the imagination. Peace is knowing without need for detailed explanation. Joy is openness to possibility. Sing your humming heart free from the heat of all creation. Swim into cool whirling coloured pools. Sleep on rock of consciousness. ↗
