Vintery, mintery, cutery, corn,
Apple seed and apple thorn;
Wire, briar, limber lock,
Three geese in a flock.
One flew east,
And one flew west,
And one flew over the cuckoo's nest.

And me without my Middle English dictionary!
Mintery: place that makes money (i.e. the Fed / US Mint)
Apple thorn: highly toxic substance / weed with hallucinogenic properties, might also refer to insanity
Limber Lock: the lock on an ammunition chest for artillery
...most European cuckoos lay their eggs in other birds' nests and build no nests of their own. The baby cuckoo is raised by parents of a different species along with their own babies but usually grows more quickly than its non-cuckoo nest-mates and pushes them out to die.
One interpretation is rebellion against the status-quo through espionage and misdirection.
Referring, perhaps specifically, to the Peasants' Revolt. How appropriate for today! Interestingly, the tax levied by Richard II was also to finance overseas wars.
i tend to interpret it as:
- some will choose to do 'evil' in this nature-order
- some will choose to do 'good' in this nature-order
- and some will choose neither 'good' not 'evil', but will seek to leave this nature-order altogether.

Agreed!

Perhaps some of us are here specifically to make these choices and trigger the "Quantum Instant", without whom it could not exist.
I have observed that this same template can be applied to other areas in life. By not making a choice, we can trigger the "void point", which then eventually re-sets the cycle (whatever cycle that may be) to rebirth.
I'm not fully convinced that this cycle is COMPLETELY inescapable! We may desire freedom from duality, but we may also desire freedom at some point from singularity... :-)
