There are signs if you look for them Species of creatures dying out A rising sea A smaller arctic A feeling dread on the population People moving on in fear and desperation And the answer- It isn’t ‘better’ politics The answer is in your hearts In your spirits We need silence We need emptiness Friends What we need is less

Fresh sunlight tickles

The east windows at daybreak -

Good morning, everyone!

Break the Mirror

In the morning After taking cold shower —-what a mistake—- I look at the mirror.

There, a funny guy, Grey hair, white beard, wrinkled skin, —-what a pity—- Poor, dirty, old man, He is not me, absolutely not.

Land and life Fishing in the ocean Sleeping in the desert with stars Building a shelter in the mountains Farming the ancient way Singing with coyotes Singing against nuclear war— I’ll never be tired of life. Now I’m seventeen years old, Very charming young man.

I sit quietly in lotus position, Meditating, meditating for nothing. Suddenly a voice comes to me: “To stay young, To save the world, Break the mirror.”

Nanao Sakaki

These houses of flesh and bone

The breath of life moves through a deathless valley Lao Tzu

We live in these houses of flesh and bone Walled in by the soul of our own existence Roofed by that love which we can create With our own hearts, our own experience In time, we leave these houses and move Into the atoms of some other far moment A moment beyond our measure and sight As if we only continue on in the passing Of one second into the next, in between The breaths of our different thoughts Here, we are men, we are women There, we are the beams of light sent From one heaven to another heaven And there millions of these heavens And the beams of light illuminate the road That our consciousness walks through space

remember that donald trump is not the king of ameriKKKa

remember that scars from a bullwhip last more than a lifetime, centuries even

remember that equality does not yet exist in the land of the free and the home of the brave

remember that donovan records still deserve to be played on the radio

remember that donald trump is not the tiny penis of a dollar bill

remember that even whiskey freezes at forty below zero but love survives

remember that the trash floating in the ocean now has its own starbucks

remember that when ameriKKKa has a billion people there will be nowhere to park

remember that donald trump loves hitler not lincoln, mussolini not john lennon

remember that with a specially built apparatus available online you no longer have to put your pants on one leg at a time

remember that whales sing for the same reason as neil young, they just have to

remember that reading pablo neruda and anna akhmatova for an entire lifetime can set your heart free I promise

remember that donald trump drinks the blood of brown skinned children that’s how he gets his hair to stay in place

remember that donald trump is not the king of ameriKKKa

The winter rains have come again Bringing life to the earth Spring will return with great rebirth Until then let us smuggle our own light To meet this darkness What is darkness anyway Dance through the raindrops The sun will return The wheel of the year will turn

A full moon on a winter night The eyes of the pine forest Blink in the sleep shadows The carpet of pine needles Is silent beneath the coyote’s paws See how her breath hangs In a perfect fog O silent midnight You are a diamond
