Summer of ’13
A day can be long, as time d-r-i-f-t-s from full moon to rising sun and back again. You can watch it all live, now, on demand. 3D, HD, full of color full of giving, full of loving. full of forgiving. But….you must choose. Choose if you want to get out of bed. to see the ...
The 100th Monkey
We work our days. We continue to play as Dividends are bundled and traded. Futures bet against and faded. So that we might extract oil from sand To keep the same experiment going, again. Continual growth no longer charted. The population has boomed And we all know there is little room. Peak oil has passed […]
The Word
The wind blows. The birds sing. The water flows. In the beginning was sound. A frequency that blew through the ground. Rising volcanoes from bursting stars. Energy compacted and thrown so very far. The up and down of a wave comes from our lips as sound is made. Attempting to describe all that can be […]
Never too close
Too close to it. Too close to it. Too close to it. I want to reflect on the ending of the Iraq War. What the hell did we fight it for? No weapons of mass destruction found. But we did find billions in contracts to stick around. To rebuild what we blew up. To grow […]
Matthew 11:5
A voice is not enough Actions must be taken Choices must be made Each and every day How much water to use What do you choose To eat What truths do you seek Do you put yourself in a chamber Hearing your own voice Echoed over and over What should you do Listen to what […]
Poisoned Milk
the moon grows large as the oceans surge. the largest its ever been. a week from the worst devastation. Japan toppled like a house of cards. waves wiped dirty a new start. destroying towns like a board game. on every channel you can see the lame. walking wounded with no home. fearing radiation from the […]
Our Human Shores
Humans are at the center of design As we can sit here and recline. Life critical systems operate all around. They are hidden out of view and can’t be found. They produce the water we drink. They produce the electricity we use to help think. All prototyped by cross disciplinary teams. Created by engineers, scientists, […]
The Atomic Heart
Without A Sound
The grid went down without a sound. Everyone knew it was coming. The cyberwar had been churning as Americans continued to shop. Stuffing their stockings. Making their lists and checking them twice. Trying to act as if they were naughty or nice. When Amazon went down, it was well known. No more online shopping could […]

I don’t need an MBA
Because it is of no use to me.
I am surrounded by degrees.
People have diplomas like fleas.
The Invention
To renew our lease
The Sky is falling Literally falling. And what should we do? Rejoice? Is there another choice? Embrace our loved ones while we have the time. Or maybe things will turn on a dime? All the news media reported a crime. To scare people to believe what they want us to. Force us to believe […]Father Mapple’s Prophecies #1
The 21st century will see truth dethroned as the ideal target of philosophy and honesty will take its place. Father Mapple Moab Adzu III
Drowning from Above
a light bearing down from above. water with light not love. filled with sand and earth. gushing from the cavern to search. your body and lungs and all you are. what you are made of. your soul. your desires. your internal fires. what desires are left undone? what was your dream and plan? what is […]
Father Mapple’s Commandments #1
My dear Globatron brethren and sistren, I have been thinking lately about the nature of law-giving. Anybody who has been around our temple for any time knows that this is a constant fascination for me. I have been meditating on how it is that such things operate, like the 10 commandments, The Code of Hammurabi, […]
