We Will
we will fix it. with imagination. with our own creation. mixing genetics and technology. engineering botany. with faster growing trees. injected with bamboo to freeze time. to regrow in days. soak up carbon like a mop. vacuum up poison from the air. regulate our toxins. purge our history from the soil. we will make […]
Stand Your Ground
Florida. What will you do when they come for you. On your coasts. Never hiding from the storms. As you beckon to carpetbaggers new to perch on your beaches. To steal your sacred views by destroying animal habitats. To buy homes to retire on buried cul-de-sacs. What will you do when the big one comes […]
To Retreat
Some land Off the grid Often hid Next to streams A tiny house Burning wood for heat A place to pack up To retreat To hit the road when things get bad This is the dream I often have Living off the land With ax in hand Asking only that we may live Ask me […]
Taking Initiative
I bike them. We wake and ride. Wind in our hair as we get there, full of pride. For moving our bodies. For taking initiative. But they don’t know what initiative is but they have it. They have it in their movement. From their bed to their cereal bowl. From the clothes they toss on […]
The Lascaux Data File
we keep updating the cloud kneeling before it like a golden calf we struck a rock with a staff watched all community gush out where the data flows no one knows of future server droughts all back ups dried and worn with all fears and doubt all videos and photos torn no relationship to restore […]
The Prophet Motive
We pool our resources We list our skills and passions. We ask how to be a good neighbor. How to reach out, educating without alienating. How to find one common cause. How to find our prophet motive. Doing good without compensation. To become whole inside this global nation. Fear can be crippling as we face […]
Freedom of Speech
Ted Glick, environmental activist is being sentenced today…for hanging banners to communicate to our government the simple message of ‘Green Jobs Now.’ The government has gone out of their way to encourage the court to triple the sentence. God Bless America. Write a letter folks, or post this on facebook, this is insanity….
Are you here? . . . Say what?
I heard a professor say, once, scolding a student: “Context, context, context.” Noam Chomsky, 1998?
too tired to slaughter
We tried everything we could to survive. Science and prayer had exhausted the hive. No longer able to believe in the future Many began investing in a final cure. Major advances had been made in nanotechnology. Solving our energy problems would allow the continuation of our biology. One of the many plans was to cover […]
The State of Our Union
A network is built for times like these. A message in a bottle I throw into the sea. I barely know you but we are in this together. As the consequences we face vibrate forever. Boats full of Africans sailed up to the beach. Half dead and half alive they could barely speak. Seeking a […]
Is “global warming” stealing my life?
Greetings 2010! It has been awhile since my last posting, but with all things in life, there is a natural winter rhythm that must be obeyed! Like a hirsute mammal, I was burrowed into a cave recharging for the spring [substitute Pacific island for cave in this case]. Throughout my winter journey, I was often […]
to be human again
I woke up today thinking this could be the end of this stinking compromise of which we are all living. I remembered the citrus growers And how they have lost everything. Today farmers woke and discovered Billions of dollars frozen and crushed By mother nature’s touch. As the arctic winds blew in and sat For […]
Education Revisited, Again
From a talk given by Terence Mckenna. “We are flesh which has been caught in the grip of some kind of an attractor that lies ahead of us in time, and that is sculpting us to its ends; speaking to us through psychedelics, through visions, through culture, and technology, consciousness. The language forming capacity in […]
Meditation on 2012
Theories abound about 2012 in our collective story. Some believe it will be the end of mankind’s glory. Some believe it will be a new beginning for humanity Where we have an awakening and experience true clarity. This date manifests itself on the Mayan calendar as the end. Nostradamus predicted this being the day we should repent. The I […]
Poison Jewels
Ten days to prove my love. To find a gift to show how above it all my feelings for my family are to thee. How my love should not be bought for free. As the Grinch stole Christmas I didn’t want it back. He could have kept it and never gotten attacked by me for […]
Wise Planet
Random Acts of Kindness
The world changed today as I turned on my TV. There were random acts of kindness all over the screen. For the first time in history these things became news for me. An eagle scout built a nature trail in a local park close by. A family adopted a child, and gave her a new […]
