| The world is in divide Across a black and white board Hypocrisy at an all time high (Including sometimes in me) A split between the things we believe, and stand for And the things we say, the way we lash out, in anger Anger is heat, The root of inflammation An illness An epidemic of emotion We are burning The Mind The Soul The Cells The Land Tossed by Mixed -and some useless- steps Campaigns To sway To scare To succumb As if there were only one right As if anyone really knows With all new everything At play And so everyone in some way is a jester or pawn But the hope is in remembering In the game There is still potential To soothe To strengthen To conquer- or become- The Queen or King And there are many strategies, Ways to win ~ -from a flow on 08.18.21 |
Light Finds a Way
Light finds a way
No matter the season or time of day
or how long it takes
or how dark
Because it is
Always there
in the ring:
Truth
The center of all things

It’s that time again…
Morning Light
Morning light refracted
on bedroom walls
Prismatic expressions
of domesticity
Rainbows
of eternity

Earth Speaks: Listening
Earth is alive, my friends, my fellow earthlings.
It’s always talking, moving, changing, destroying, creating. No amount of asphalt or human will can top that.
Sometimes I think we/people say #nature like it’s separate from us.
But it’s everything.
We eat of it; we live IN it, even when our jungle is concrete or plastic.
We are it. We are this.
Shall we take time to give it a gander and listen?
Light of Creation
Chaos brings change. In this moment we have massive global OPPORTUNITY for restructuring.
May all corruption collapse.
May all lives- earthlings and earth itself- be valued. May QUALITY and ethical treatment, not profit, be the bottom line. May all who desire it have housing and food, with no compromise to WELL BEING otherwise.
May the fog of denial CLEAR.
May we all be HEALTHY by every definition.
May we all discover our individual POWER- within the collective- to CREATE in every moment… not later, not “after,” NOW.
– 04/07/20
Also, as always: COMFORT to those suffering and APPRECIATION to those serving, both in myriad of ways.
🙏

Warriors of Light
“You can recognize a Warrior of the Light by the look in his eye…
Warriors of the Light often ask themselves what they are doing here. Often they find their lives meaningless.
That is why they are Warriors of the Light. Because they fail. Because they ask questions. Because they keep looking for a meaning. And, in the end, they will find it.”
-excerpt from Warrior of the Light: A Manual by Paulo Coelho(2002, HarperCollins)
