I used to love to run, run, run* and think, think, think.

(I think???)

Therefore … I was!

(Or: … “I think I thought, therefore I think I was.”)

………………………….

Running’s over.

But still, I attempt to think. (I think.)

I’m struggling to be.

And “thinkingly” (maybe) I ponder

What I was,

What I am,

And what will become of me.

(Ye? That tree? The sea? Or nnnnnn… ni… nil?

Nnn-iii-lll? … NIL!?!

Will that BE ME?)

balmy weather

and we’re together

lovely greens, green, and greenery abound

life-yielding moisture from soaking rains in topsoil-ground

balmy weather

and we’re together

fresh color full flowers adorn the atmosphere

a diversity of birds chirping delight the ear

balmy weather

sweet smells of early quasi-spring

orally and in sweet sensitive noses begin to cling

balmy weather

and we’re together

beautiful red, red tulips blooming here and there

love fills the air

wonderful balmy weather

and we are so very much together

poem number one

you bet!!!!!!!

i can get it in gear

and appear

to exude cheer

especially after a veneer

of substantial beer

poem number two

¡¡¡¡¡¡seguro que si!!!!!!

i’d like to write something very upbeat and happy yet truly profound

nevertheless the insignificance which comes forth now in this very moment from this being not renown

can be read and said without much effort no matter what the vocal sound:

“over seven billion … and their multitudes of domesticated biota transforming energies abound

and spread all over eaarth’s currently very artificial anthropocene ground …

… who select, support, and enable leaders who are certainly unwound

and not at all mentally or morally or ethically or suitably sound”

nevertheless!!!!!!!

we Haves can continue to rock on and have plenty of pleasure and comfort as long as prisons, walls, and armaments … and ignorance and see-no-evil and complacency … abound and surround.

poem number three

Hey!  “!#@%”

oh yea, oh yea, oh yea

the clouds are very gray

preparation for … they say …

… another impeachment day

is he a poet of a sort?

or one who is simply out of sorts with some things in this old world??

guess he’s just trying to sort it all out! …

maybe that’s a poet?!?

delicate petals of a novice red poppy

gently caress the morning dew

uumbaji wa sifa

the sun peeks through the pine valley mountains

and affectionately teases the virgin river at zion

uumbaji wa sifa

sensuous lips meet; warm moist breath, pheromones exchanged

in lovers’ loving caress

uumbaji wa sifa

in these times and in all of time

black is delicately, teasingly, sensuously beautiful; black lives profoundly matter

uumbaji wa sifa

black, moreno are such a very significant and glorious

root, foundational, dynamic, daily part of wonderous creation

uumbaji wa sifa

por favor know, respect, honor its being, all the beings … la naturaleza,

know, respect, honor the science and mystery of how it all came into being

uumbaji wa sifa

uumbaji wa sifa

praise creation

uumbaji wa sifa

delicious, warm, moist, crunchy, flavorful, aroma-filled … date nut cake

for true goodness sake

fresh cream and eggs from the farm, honey, vanilla, and nutmeg … homemade eggnog

without too much grog

eve of wondrously peaceful … christmas lights

and high mass at the middle of the night

a wholly holy, lowly thrust out with force … tantum ergo sacramentum

begins aquinas’ pange lingua, medieval latin hymn

close friends … and fam-i-ly

any better could it be?

1.Starting with family, we must have robust, profound, and holistic learning–and continuing learning–of ecological principles and processes in all human organizational entities.  What we learn should be manifested within these social, religious, governmental, recreational, and sustainable-livelihood organizations, and through appropriate interactions with associated beings and landscape.

2.We must realize, exemplify, and spread values of positively ethical applied community ecology through well-planned and regular facilitated, participatory communication opportunities.

3.There is a moral and ethical imperative for “1” and “2”

……………………………………..

*This is the essence of what I am attempting to drive home with my little heavily-illustrated 250+ page book on applied ecology for kids from the age of 12 to 120 years, which I hope will be published in 2021.  I plan to follow the book up with related live interactive presentations and webinars.

(And I would ask, “Is there any other real reason for living?”)
