Near but Far From Home
Out for a day near but far from home, where do you think this child might roam? Hither, thither and even yon, what might I chance upon? A mighty tree, with children at play, becomes a tower, though it changes by the hour. A hidden trail beneath a massive thicket Leads to their secret hideout. […]

Elemental
Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Elemental ~~~~~ Now, we sing hymns of praise, preach sermons of damnation. Who do we laud? Who do we curse? We pretend we march in lockstep, tied together in a three-legged race attacking and retreating. Some people run, fight to finish first, […]
