Braving Shadows
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ The future need not remember for the past. The aged, and their memories slipping away Filling the young with energy and purpose. Usually, we remain aware how life’s recall, Reflects on our own deeds fueled by youth. Despite any ignorance won, knowledge lost We elide our essence, damn […]
Once Upon a Life
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Part Two Good times came and bad times came. With our tale of travel and of separation. Hitchhiked east; her dad sent plane fare. She soared, Boston to Belmont; I stayed to collect a debt, though I never could. Maybe I stayed to bid adieu to moments from […]
Now Not Then
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ I see pictures of all my friends and smile. They live so many miles away, it’s distant. I have not seen them in such a long while; I wish I could magic them here this instant. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is […]
Going Out
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Going out in the world again in an extremely limited way. The more people in the bargain the shorter the time we’ll stay. I acknowledge I’m very lucky, graced with love I can cherish. I’m not sure I could be plucky seeing the people I love perish. Once […]
What is There to Lose?
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Soldier straight, Their brother stands, Their sister stands. While they reach out Their untouched hands. We step beneath Their outstretched arms, Unable to imagine all Myriad and costly harms. Cost of life, of hope, in pain Dwarfing any envisioned gain Humankind is anything but kind. We need but […]
I Heard
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ (The importance of negative space.) I heard Monarch butterflies migrating through California have dwindled from millions to around two thousand or so. With them go the insects who help pollinate all of our crops. Will we pollinate by hand, let plants not grow, trees perish? Those we haven’t […]
Pain and Fear
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Listen and do not make a sound. What do you hear, your thoughts? Though someone is always around. Sound contagious, brains may clot. Wait, perhaps I realized something. Part of our stress is noise we hear. Where nature restores, so we sing, Our days all beset by pain […]
The Only Way
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Earth is not our stage where we may playact a meager role, despite being cast hero or king. We, more akin to cells that comprise our being a longer time than now we lived as designed. But then we exploded into runaway growth, a cancer which spread so […]
Once Upon a Life
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Part One Once upon a single life nearly fifty years ago I sat upon a brick wall in Palo Alto feeling low. Without money a place to stay, listening to an unknown rock band in Litton Plaza, I heard A dulcet voice offering me hello. Who knew such […]
On the Road Again?
People Over Politics, Survival Over Surrender, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Vaccine, my second dose, hurray. Here, I sit and I wait and I hope. Are we on to the road to recovery Or sliding down a slippery slope? ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment Unite the World! ~~~~~ […]
