No Secrets

No Secrets ~~~~~   Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,  Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ As I walk among the redwood trees, a funny sound I hear, a banana slug oozing oh so slowly across my trail. Birds sing, raven’s gossip, no secrets. Breathe deeply, the freshening wind. Watch leaves dance, as breezes […]

Whether Near or Far

Whether Near or Far ~~~~~   It is time to put people over politics, country over capitulation and world over wealth. ~~~~~ We all know that families can be difficult, complex, especially those to which we’re related, share blood. Where buttons pushed often yield answers by reflex, usually, without thought about what might be good. […]

Ichi-go Ichi-e

Ichi-go Ichi-e ~~~~~ It is time to put people over politics, country over capitulation and world over wealth. ~~~~~ Deep shining sun, sea arrayed earth, cold mantle, warm life. Within mountains, hidden depths. boiling fecundity. Earth sky schism, union of all, apart without separation. No center, no edge, universes dance, spin, alone yet unified. Self-contained, […]

Beat Goes On

Beat Goes On ~~~~~ It is time to put people over politics, country over capitulation and world over wealth. ~~~~~ I’m beating the same themes and, I will pound them again. Since the peace I seek seems a consensus exacting to gain, it may stay forever unbidden, until you dovetail my dreams, remain a horse […]

As We Go

As We Go ~~~~~ It is time to put people over politics, country over capitulation and world over wealth. ~~~~~ How we discover what we know, how it relates to things which matter, is something we learn to know as we go, if we are open to all, will let our ego shatter. If we […]

Onward to Begin

Onward to Begin ~~~~~   It is time to put people over politics, country over capitulation and world over wealth. ~~~~~ Stop. Listen to the world in all its fecund profusion. Block out the noise, our daily whirl, which leads only to confusion. Stop, now. Put away our toys; they cannot, in most ways, begin […]

A Little Bit

A Little Bit ~~~~~ It is time to put people over politics, country over capitulation and world over wealth. ~~~~~ Everything humans know about creation and our place within it, fits within a space so infinitesimally small it could not be called even a little bit. Ironic, really, since all we hope to know is […]

Found or Bought

Found or Bought ~~~~~   It is time to put people over politics, country over capitulation and world over wealth. ~~~~~ Starting at the bottom of the mountain, climbing up step by step, by step, repeat, yearning for apex vista, magic fountain, an amulet, wealth to make us complete. Will we hear clouds whispering of […]

The Crying of Hat 10 1/2

The Crying of Hat 10 1/2 ~~~~~   It is time to put people over politics, country over capitulation and world over wealth. ~~~~~ Events in life happen when they must, a meaningless assertion at its very best. Events in life do happen when they do, so, they must happen when they must. This tautological […]

All of Us

All of Us ~~~~~   It is time to put people over politics, country over capitulation and world over wealth. ~~~~~ Sitting quietly in my back yard, something I do, have done too rarely, though recently we have made it nicer, a better place to  hang out. Hot, like it shouldn’t be in northern California, […]
