All So Simple
All So Simple ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ What’s a person to do, when every day there’s something new?

Life and Time
Life and Time ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Life is trying, trying to stretch me, stretch me thin. Extenuated tries, treasons, lies, reasons, death and life, sorrow trouble borrowed double. Tears flow, falling like rain, striking, splashing, battering, splattering. Ripples spreading, intersecting. No respite, no recrimination, […]
Outside Straight
Outside Straight ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Who named our potentates in charge to date?

Damaged Earth, Damaged Sky ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Why would I want to go that way, knowing where it will likely lead? Like any who find faith at the end, in case they were wrong all along. This conversion on their death bed pure hubris, […]
One Exception
One Exception ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ I sit in my car and write, parked in a neighborhood where I would like to live. Unimpeded Pacific Ocean view, out of my price range. Beside bluffs atop Mavericks. Big wave riding has no appeal, though there is […]

Along for the Ride ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Listening to a long-time friend, nearly 50 years, who currently lives more than 5,000 miles away, playing a bamboo flute, somewhere in Chicago.
