Sunday Morning

Good morning Wake and Bakers.. There is so much confusion and so much despair confronting our world today. Poetry, song and nature are the antidote to this malaise. Turn off your television today. Leave the insanity of the propaganda machines. We are being programmed how to think, instead of being the programmer who knows how to think. The mechanistic rationalist point of view is the devil in our modern times. There is more to life than atoms bouncing off each other. As Joni once said,

“We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion-year-old carbon
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden”.

Thanks so much for visiting this little space in the universe.

“No other art form restores dignity to language with as much power and efficiency as a good poem. We are surrounded by wall-to-wall language that degrades and demoralizes us.

By restoring the language, poetry restores the human spirit—it is the antidote.”

Arise by Joseph Massey

It isn’t pointless but the point remains beyond us:

the crow on top of a telephone pole at daybreak,

screaming into a crease between blue-black clouds,

as the sun slowly overtakes dark green hills rolling up from the other side of the river.

It isn’t pointless. How awe compels us to see the unseen as seen.

All our senses swarmed by green contortions of waking earth.

We are here at the brink of a sudden ecstatic coherence:

one sound pronouncing each name of each thing erupting from the ripening field.

Spring by Jacob Allen

Sitting on a white fence that runs for miles

Cumulus ships pass as black birds fly by

Dreaming on a white fence, corn stalks stretch for miles

Life is like this land, a cycle of dust to dust.

Lying on a flat grey stone, so much blue to see

Marshmallow ghosts float in the summer sky

Dreaming of a world that one cannot see

Red tailed hawks, riding their waves, glide by.

Sitting on a fallen tree

Green eruptions stretch for miles and miles

Life is like this land that rises and falls

As all our dreams float by…

Peace to Everyone….Happy Birthday Mom.. This one is for you..
