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? […]
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. […]
This, Too, Shall Pass
~~~~~ What distinguishes, creates demarcation between living and life? Can they be divided or shared, like pieces of pie cut with a knife? Or. only the viscera of being alive, breathing and eating and shit. Simply work, chores, needful daily obligations; that cannot be it. In relationships you always hear such a lot of talk […]
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 […]
All Go Forth
~~~~~ Do we resurrect heroes from ages lost, invent them anew, some with souls? They might tilt only at wind turbines. Simpler folk, times, yet, more aware. Gift us magic, hope, light in darkness. Life is never found without darkness, nor is death ever found without light. This we know but hide from ourselves. Seeking […]
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, […]
Each Morn
~~~~~ Rise like the lark into the morning; welcome day with joy and wonder. Smiles, laughter, your day adorning, take time, life’s miracles to ponder. Hope and feeling will play their part. How we face the day is only attitude. Each morn from birth until we depart; day will be painted the hue we imbue. […]
Apples and Answers
~~~~~ Apples have fallen on the ground. Some will turn, begin to rot away. Save what we gather, a final mound. We decide what goes, what may stay. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me know what you think.
