Stories We Tell
~~~~~ Why do we always believe, that we know what is right? Not only for us, I perceive;. If we cannot talk, we fight. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Want Vs. Care
~~~~~ For want of a seed, the shoot was lost. For want of a shoot, the plant was lost. For want of a plant, the flower was lost. For want of a flower, the bee was lost. For want of a bee, the plant was lost. For want of a plant, the food was lost. […]
What Need?
~~~~~ I heard a question most recently, which, I must say puzzled me. Seriously, someone asked, you see, what do we have any need, jeez, for tigers to walk among the trees? And while I pondered, I realized, I could never, ever compromise. So, seriously, I ask you now, why, what need have tigers wandering […]
This, Too, Shall Pass
~~~~~ What distinguishes, creates demarcation between living and life? Can they be divided or shared, like pieces of pie cut with a knife? Or. only the viscera of being alive, breathing and eating and shit. Simply work, chores, needful daily obligations; that cannot be it. In relationships you always hear such a lot of talk […]
Beautiful Dreamers
~~~~~ Are you liberal, conservative, radical, stoic, centrist, anarchist, green? You can fill in the blanks I’ve missed. Maybe you want to bring back the Wobblies or worship the sun. What you label yourself is much less important than what you believe. Can you tell me why you believe, what you believe and why […]
Sense is Lost
~~~~~ Still and all, I wonder at sounds heard in the depths of night, and if they are the sorts of things that might give me a fright? Not the ghoulies, no, nor the ghousties, nor the long-leggedy beasties, but the bombs that go boom in the light, The ratta-tat-tat of rapid-fire weapons and bloviated […]
On the Home Front
~~~~~ We brand ourselves, the land of the brave, home of the free So proud, as we ignore our own ignorance, hatred and, bigotry Decrying machine-gun maniacs, who murder on a bloody spree While we’re Earth’s premiere purveyor of advanced weaponry Righteous people who never sing the song of them, only of me It should […]
Doesn’t Matter
~~~~~ I have nothing and much to say. My thoughts and words drain away. Watching people, searching for clues, everything I see and hear is all old news. Neither old nor young, may die tomorrow. If indeed this, would I be filled with sorrow? When you are sure you know your future path? This might […]
Too Little, Too Late
~~~~~ Since up is down, down is up Although neither is the other Stand upon your head to sup Don’t know why you’d bother Life finds me dizzy some days Even when I don’t spin about Punched right between my eyes I feel so full of angst and doubt I think the world is turned […]
Time and Age
~~~~~ We pretend we have conquered mountains, that we’re stronger than a cold north wind. We tell ourselves the land and sea are ours, Yet nature says we’re wrong over and over. We sneer that we were primitive, in caves. Yet, they lasted far longer than we, so far. Nor did they trash the world, […]
