As per usual, I accumulate small actions aimed toward a hoped-for restoration. Restoration of rivers, our Union, our true independence. In a public comment direct toward EPA head Andrew Wheeler: The intended beneficiaries of our Constitutional responsibility are clearly stated to include “our Posterity.” This means all future generations must be taken into account as…

Let’s not be fooled into distrusting one another, we who already share our reliance upon the living land.
Hope is a necessity, for all who look to try to live by caring about the griefs of the world. Love is what senses the possibility of goodness. Among the best of human traits, both love and hope eventually require the certainty of mattering. Of making a positive, observable difference. The functioning ecosystem is our…
Opening a window upon the world can be a literal means of renewal.
I frequently find myself abashed by the comparative privilege of my life, as the flowers bloom for an array of meticulous insects, and our children delight in the knowledge and tastes of garden food. The glorious clouds sear with their beauty, as my human heart strives to truly see and appreciate the vast gift of…
The concept of unity requires active hands to form the reality.
The sense of unreality continues unabated, each time I tune in to current events on the world stage and within the political sphere. It seems many of us are waiting for the bad and mad to drift aside, and reveal days whose contents are not sullied by worry and scandal and outrage and despair. And…
Idealism is the surprisingly steely counterpoint to unflinching rationality.
As even a very occasional reader “staying for the prose” would quickly gather, my thoughts borderline obsessively turn to the great faith and hope I place in the prospect of humanity deciding en masse to tend to the healing of the earth by laying claim to our intended role as stewards of the cycles of…
Because we are irrevocably flesh and blood, our contents orient toward life and growth, though surrounded by the contrary.
I love it when people come to the conclusion that our one true hope is to wholly and deliberately reclaim our reliance upon the planet. Spread seeds, rehabilitate concrete. Take it upon ourselves as the massive collective able to turn attention and hands to enact the revitalization of roots and rivers and air by planting planting…

Earlier this week when all our snow melted away into a brownish sludge with branches bared, I directed myself to focus on the reality of my influential psychic energies upon my family, and mostly resisted a bout of depression and malaise. So today, when the snowfall arrived anew with all…
bootstraps
What, I wonder, are we all waiting for? Those of us who wish for peace and a real change in these systems of living that seem so resistant to the value of the world and people as they exist unattached to monetary profit? My own ironic answer is, I think I’ve been waiting to…
hope happens
Surge Just as amazed and astounded near incredulous over the fact of the groaning earth yet managing enabling each breathing moment of we masses of people, so each heart surged tear we shed over joys and pains in existence a small victory miracle unexpected proof of empathic ability. The wires and wars have yet to…
Columbus Day
500 plus years since a particular arrival. The eversame choice remains: exploit perceived weakness for the sake of power and profit, or, offer generosity and welcome in deference to the shared smallness of our human space in creation? The wrong choice remains daily made, affixed to our everyday ways. Such heroics when hope remains, to choose…
