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

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. A mysterious mélange of time and space, relative to not only distance but also […]

At Last

At Last ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,  Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Come, admit we’ve made our world absurd. We but scurrying ants guarding our anthills, playing make-believe,  kings of our castles, not worthy to be jesters, only play the fools. I’ll happily tell you that I’ve got your nose, nose […]

Happy Trails to You

Happy Trails to You ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,  Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ I look around and wonder what each of us sees.

When Future is Ancient

When Future is Ancient ~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,  Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ What will we find in ancient times, from what we have not destroyed? Like everyone killed, endless war. Have we lost too much to recover? Imminent threat of climate change; sticks of dynamite, it occurs to me, […]

Early AM Musings

Early AM Musings ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,  Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ We must learn to recognize the walls of the world we were born into; see the story we have been told and the one we would choose. The story we have been told comes from family, friends and […]

Report From the Realm

Report From the Realm ~~~~~ “War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength; Trumpery is Reality” Words by Birds I am the Rouge Regina. You never will find finer. Say bad thing of my rule; it’s fake news, you fool. I am the queen, the best. Just forget all of the rest. Misunderstand what […]

Making Choices

Making Choices ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,  Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Can we now talk of love? We hear far too much hate. Lift our eyes to stars above and so choose to cooperate. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,  Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave […]

Climate Change

Climate Change ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,  Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ While Earth provides well for us it also needs our nurture in return.
