am i a hippie?/but i believe it to be true

" and darling, i've seen the night through too many times to take this lightly..."

set, re-set!

line BREAK!

today, we go, tomorrow we come back, again, and again, and again

don't tempt me.

i will never know as much as i do in this very molecule, 

and so what is there to be so afraid of?

- global devastation

- the burning of the earth

- human cruelty

what can we replace them with?

- a healing planet, helped by humans, 

- eco-cene thriving

- human resilience, empathy, vulnerability, connectivity, love.

and so i will dew eat,

like a teacher with an eraser

at the front of the room

i will choose not to bypass

but to create another 

possibility 

and methodically, 

spiritually, through 

the rough and the rubble

imagine something new.

PHEW!
