~~~~~ So what, if someone knows your name, If they have no idea who you might be? You might be king or queen of the world, And they could walk by you on the street. When you were laid-out, dead and gone, They would not ever, even remember you, Except. Perhaps, to say, “Oh, yeah, […]
Freely Given
~~~~~ Start singing the song of simplicity. Continuously chant the canticle of caring. Find foolishness and follow it freely. Play until you are not pretending. Each from the level of their talents Freely given in an act of common creation. Each to the level of their needs. Empathy empowered, not socialism, survival. ~~~~~ Peace is […]
In Their Stupidity
~~~~~ Men, In their stupidity, try to control women. It is not merely power and sex, but fear, jealousy. What they have done and we have allowed, is a sin.

Never or Rarely
~~~~~ Is our world really too large When we are all the cosmos? Not only stars and galaxies, The dark spaces in between, But love and laughter, too, Science, faith and wonder?

Perspective
