Neither a Laugh Nor a Tear
Neither a Laugh Nor a Tear ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Today, I decided to remove my face, to discover what I would find beneath. It looked a bit like red, stringy lace. Much like we will all one day bequeath. Wait, that says you’re the […]
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. […]

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 […]

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.

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, […]
Before
Before ~~~~~ It is time to put people over politics, country over capitulation and world over wealth. ~~~~~ How do we surmise? We have said and done Enough to think we’re wise?
