If We Give
~~~~~ When in doubt, I find it is better to whisper than to shout, Not knowing what life’s about, may lead to our final rout. Though, if we don’t dispute, we might learn another route. Distribute the ill-gotten loot, make it better for all, to boot. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is […]
What We Always Knew
~~~~~ “How can I move forward, when I don’t know which way I’m facing?” John Lennon These words, so true, set my heart racing. With all I’ve learned, know how to do, and cool and useful stuff I can make, why never have I felt comfortable with life, or even the direction I should take? […]
Paranoia Will Destroya
~~~~~ Strange, disturbing and unnatural, the sight I witnessed earlier today, two people, women, sitting outside, talking in the old-fashioned way. No phones, smart or dumb, no tablets, no pads, no games, no e-readers, could I detect anywhere. Should I go and warn our fear-filled leaders? Anyone not plugged in twenty hours per day might miss […]
Along Your Merry Way
~~~~~ In the deepest darkest depths of night, when all your thoughts shriek danger, fright. When evil looms within your sight, Dawn will come. When wicked winter winds into your marrow bite, storm-dark clouds bring sleet, snow, ice, till you can’t fight, and every day you live feels black as night, Spring will come. When […]
Want Vs. Care
~~~~~ For want of a seed, the shoot was lost. For want of a shoot, the plant was lost. For want of a plant, the flower was lost. For want of a flower, the bee was lost. For want of a bee, the plant was lost. For want of a plant, the food was lost. […]
Beautiful Dreamers
~~~~~ Are you liberal, conservative, radical, stoic, centrist, anarchist, green? You can fill in the blanks I’ve missed. Maybe you want to bring back the Wobblies or worship the sun. What you label yourself is much less important than what you believe. Can you tell me why you believe, what you believe and why […]
The Elements
~~~~~ Listen until you hear the winds blowing, exploring, seeking places we may not go. Whistling through rocks, chaparral, singing the mountains, the planes, and the oceans. Cries out the pain of storms, shrieks terror, whines loss, the loneliness of scoured land, the fear of destruction, as powerful as war. Do you hear the crackling […]

Feelings of clarity and confusion lead to hope for some solution. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me know what you think. See more of my creative offerings and […]
Choose to Live
~~~~~ When you think life has given you the right to carp, moan and whine, that life gives others a better view, leave pity outside, you will be fine. If you have problems quite severe, Your life won’t be better in a sewer. You are sick, tired, rent is in arrears, attitude, distance from trier […]
Spark is to Blaze
~~~~~ If we will surround ourselves with beauty, music, art, words, focus, positive feelings, deeds, and what we may offer others. Tell our constant truth, our own. Truth which comes from within. Truth which we brought with us, into light, cold, need to breathe. We bring awareness and vision, even if we’re born without eyes, […]
