CHANGE is a verb.

Because that’s what’s happening. 

We can’t stop it; we won’t stop it; and I don’t want to.   I am inspired by what the Egyptian people accomplished. On the surface, they've won a great victory; and we must hope they have not merely traded in one… Read full post »

We need connection to our tribe

Every time we smile, we carry the light from Home. We are being re-wired, so our physical body can hold more light while we walk around on this planet. Earth is evolving and we are all walking through it.

Many had to push our way into this life, having parents who

The Answer

WE are the light of the world.
WE are the manifest love of the divine.

WE are good will towards all creatures; and the Earth Herself.

Sing along.

Love yer light.
Live your LOVE.

WE are the solution.

What is the Point of Government?

          How was it invented?  Why was it created?  Where did it first arise?  Why would a free people give up some of their independence for the presumed benefit of a government?

And That’s the Way it is…

Once Upon a Time, Walter Cronkite signed off his nightly broadcast with those words.  After the local news and sports, Cronkite came on the tube and recited the evening news for half an hour, and we believed every word he said.  After the news, we might have tuned in to ‘The… Read full post »

the Equinox

The Equinox was a lovely, memorable day.  First gathering at a Buddhist meditation early in the morning here in town, where we chanted and received a ritualistic blessing meant to change the world; then, later in the afternoon, driving out a rutted dirt road to anRead full post »

Created for Love

 


when fire was our only light

 


seven lifetimes

times seven

plus a gross

and add eleven

with an indeterminate time;

devoted like a monk, alone

passed like aeons

to atone

the forbidding ache

of wanting you.

Because we have a choice

Little do we comprehend, let alone acknowledge that we are surrounded by angels...  Every person is an incarnation of the divine breath of God.  When you see someone else, you are seeing yourself in another incarnation.  So be happy, be kind; and be loving.   Read full post »

Too late for Haiti

I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment,

I still have a dream.

Too late

It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

Joy to the Earth

Haven't seen you in awhile to talk actually with you.   I hope the holidays are good to you.   I'm still living with my co-dysfunctional friends at the farm, and the only one of us spending time with family this year is André.   He's taking care of his Dad, who's… Read full post »

I recently requested that my bank take Verizon Wireless off an auto debit plan.  I’m not too happy with Verizon, because my cell phone died again.  I paid $200 for this phone and I already had to replace it once, for the same reason.  It wouldn’t charge.  The replaceme… Read full post »

Here's an interesting little diversion from the status quo.  List fifteen books you've read that had an impact on you and will always stick with you.  List the first fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes.  In my case, the titles came pouring out, and more and more… Read full post »
