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, […]

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? Will we know before we’re gone? ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,  Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a […]

Before You Go

Before You Go ~~~~~ It is time to put people over politics, country over capitulation and world over wealth. ~~~~~ Do you think our getting old is making some folks rich? Tell you that’s true and not some sort of computer glitch, though the people taking care of us do not get that dosh. Those […]

None So Blind

None So Blind ~~~~~   It is time to put people over politics, country over capitulation and world over wealth. ~~~~~ Spinning stories, so I may begin to understand. Walking within a sheltered wood, artist’s view, as pine needles slip beneath my steps and recall, soft, changing winds, tires on newly-fallen rain. Ideas from distant […]

After

After ~~~~~   It’s time to put people over politics, country over capitulation and world over wealth. ~~~~~ When none speak truth, we hear only lies. Then, it doesn’t matter what we call the color of the skies, or if the clouds send rain or death. Will anyone sew our shrouds, bear witness to our […]

Heirs Apparent

Heirs Apparent ~~~~~ It is time to put people over politics, country over capitulation and world over wealth. ~~~~~ All the things I might have done, or seen, or known. all the beings I might have been, become, while strolling along a quiet esplanade. The mottled green sea sparkles blue, white. A painter hoping to […]

People in the Clouds

People in the Clouds ~~~~~ It is time to put people over politics, country over capitulation and world over wealth. ~~~~~ Painting, oil, acrylic, water, color to attract our eye, we may travel to exotic places, without a need to fly. Meet people from far away, in geography or in time, marvel at their talent, […]

Get Along With You

Get Along With You ~~~~~   It is time to put people over politics, country over capitulation, and world over wealth. ~~~~~ All of us, pawns in a world full of sound and fury. With overtones, undertones, key changes, abrupt screams, staccato bullets muffled by frail flesh, silenced forever. Leaving rivulets red, brains, gore, guts, […]

Pointed Regard

Pointed Regard ~~~~~   It is time to put the people over politics, country over capitulation, and world over wealth. ~~~~~ What balancing act, magician’s sleight of hand, do we use to simply live, make our lives feel grand? Who do we fool, do you suppose? Ourselves, others, no one? Do we merely pretend we […]
