Where or When?
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ I come running down the stairs wondering who has come to my door. What’s in store? Today a day like no other. What will I find? Who? I suppose it might be you. What joy and laughter will share out upon the greensward. We can picnic and […]
Who Can Resist?
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Oh, what we lack in education? The classical reference, mythic name or situation? What do we call bright dawn, but dawn? And ne’er would midnight be referred to as Erebus, like the fabled ship lost in search of the Northwest Passage. Its companion, the Terror, equally ill-fated […]
On Every Hand
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The multitudes are chasing me. Or is it, that I am chasing them? All in this together, the same race, same game, play, chorus, orchestra, despite how we choose to describe it. Come follow me, I will show you something so wonderful, though you brought it with […]
I Contain Multitudes
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Roll along the tarmac on your way to some distant destination; chosen or at random, a figure stabbed down upon the map.

Perhaps, we should never use the word war alone, despite its ultimate implications. We must spell out the horror, death, the agony within and […]
The Life Of Warmth
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The night walks through the bazaar, carrying jewels in their wrap, trailing veils. Who knows whose lights are represented? Is one of them Sol the name we have given? But what name does any sun claim as their own? Do we need such a true name in […]
Give and Take
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Give your heart in everything you do. Offer your soul, as if it were pennies. You are here to give yourself away, in ways you do not remember, but have been given the imagination to dream. Each of us has our own special gift to offer, or […]
Consider Ourselves
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Why then the need for a celestial conductor who might somehow lead all creation? More likely a vast being 13 billion light years old, grown from babe to adult and someday into old age. A gradual fading of the strengths which have sustained and maintained a cosmos […]
What A Marvelous Space
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ What spirit moves through the heart, the mind, the brains, the hands of any creator? This is a question all should ask. We all create in our own ways, to the degree of which we are capable, though even the most minor among us have created life’s […]
