Wake Up!
The rumbling is becoming a roar.
If you haven’t had the opportunity to see or hear  Greta Thunberg’s passionate plea at the EU Parliament’s April 16th meeting; it is worth watching here.
Clearly, we do not know how to move from our comfortable and profit driven lifestyles. Am I willing to change the way I work and earn a living in order to make a difference?
We have the way, it is just a matter…

The Pensieve
“Who are the people who helped you become who you are?, Mr. Rogers asks.
Looking into the Pensieve
you begin to think see
my mom, my dad, my sister
my best friends, favorite teachers
the list
begins
To blossom
and before you can stop it
that horrendous boyfriend
the skeeming employer
the rude subway rider
reveal their selves
and gratitude wells up
as do thoughts
of who your neighbors are
and

Ah Silent Wounded Sufferer
Ah Silent Wounded Sufferer
Silent Wounded Sufferer Breathe – slowly – in-then-out – deep cleansing breaths Ah Sweet Nectar  How? How have I … Is it the endless excavating Is it the see-through smoke of a trillion stacks and pipes Is it the warm air that keeps me comfy on this cool spring morning  Ah Keeper of the Vineyard  How? How have I … Is it the use of the names for colors to define-divide-destroy Is it the endless…

Sent Out
Sent Out - Awakening to the home I have always been in, a world of wonder and awe, basking in Love
Adam and Eve in the Garden And he was amazed at their unbelief. Then he went about among the villages teaching. He called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. He ordered them to take nothing for their journey except a staff; no bread, no bag, no money in their belts; but to wear sandals and not to put on two tunics. He said to them,…

Once Again in the Garden
Once Again in the Garden
 In the distance loud hosannas fade saving no one but themselves A deepening No flees from the Light thrusting the kneeling One beyond comfort beyond knowing beyond fear ensuing madness deepens crimson tears flow Whispering Wind silently encouraging, enticing, enfolding as the kneeling One stands arms wide open Heart exposed

Where wild things are ~ a poem by Steve Garnaas-Holmes
Where wild things are
Harold Weston , Wilderness-Marcy, Dvorak New World Symphony, Largo
    The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness.
He was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan;
and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels waited on him.
—Mark 1.12-13

my desolations,
my discomfort.
Set me down
among the wild beasts,
fears and hungers
pawing around…

Tikkun Olam
The Wall of Indifference by Judy Chicago and Donald Woodman, 1989
 The screams for help
too many
The anger
too great
El-roi gasps

The world contracts
The days grow short
Chaos presses in

When will we see
When will

That love
Love is great
That song
song will bring salvation
salvation
healing and wholeness
Tikkun Olam
Oh
Tikkun Olam
The moan of oppression
The anger of…
