The “Of”
If CASIL has an ‘of’ or not,
Affects the type of org you’ve got;
If so (and it is up to you),
It’s different things that it would do.It really puts the issue there
And lets it have some light and air:
“Am I alone, or do I see
Success lies in community?”For money is a plastic tool
(Though used by wise, and used by fool);
Its potency is seldom stretched,
So we can better structure get.Let’s tinker with the name of it –
Like, see if choir’s a better fit
Without the baggage first I see,
That’s carried by “community”.I like its logo – CASIL – line
Of ramparts, shaped by gifts of mine –
With highest point encourager,
Then giver-type financier.Administrator runs a third;
Without the rest it is absurd –
Implies in fact I 'others' seek
Who compliment where I am weak.I see few other gifts in there
Who’d set the tone of “build, repair,
Supply, encourage, structure make,
Creatively do what it takes –To make the other structures run,
Which folks bring forth for having fun
With us in our community,
Across such cultures that there be.New hybrid-type co-ops do that,
But there’s some freight goes with that hat;
So let’s design a concept new,
With building-blocks which must be used.So, “CasilCorp” embodies that,
Brings lore along, with different hat;
It freshens up and says quite plain
“In profit-land’s where we remain”.A potent ship in galaxy;
Big guns to make marauders flee;
With commerce as its basic game,
Yet service-object's just the same.Quite symbiotic at the core,
Yet open to engaging more;
Like Zorro’s circle, starting small
Lets member-gifts stretch up as tall.Form follows function just in case
Some part of it becomes displaced;
We build a ship conceptual,
Then abstract take to actual.Six months – this station’s come to be
The enterprise you’d hope to see –
An effort to construct a ship
From which the rest could benefit.Perceiver’s gifts kept from the mix,
Was problem we set out to fix;
Compassion-person’s gift was strong,
We flipped it lest our plan go wrong.That takes me back to Rock Lake time,
Where “sight for gentle eyes” worked fine
As modus operandi yours –
Laid out a future camping course.So what if other minds prevailed
And shut you down, your plans assailed;
You did your part – no CasilCorp
To take that egg and make it work.Is there a theme to golden eggs
Which you lay out, each needing legs?
The CASIL shell is primitive,
Increasingly a place I live.Not sure just how the others fit,
Who hover ’round of this mother-ship;
But I’ve a hunch if we stay tight,
We’ll have the means to do it right.So one-off help to other folks,
Could give us clues to others folks;
For now, the shell quite empty is,
With function driving form of biz.navigation
