Words, Paper, Power
All things impermanent are
Impervious flow
Inevitable
Are the changing tides of time
Transforming the mind
The fantastic dream
Gives life to all that’s unseen
Empowers hearts' gleam
The softness of silk
Only temporary felt
When worn over steal
Water shed from leaves
Dampens ground & strengthens vines
Water into wine
Living & Dying -
As natural as breathing
Try to breath deeply
Many of you may have already seen this blog from me but I thought I would go ahead and redo it with a little more background as well as some added emphasis on just what is at stake.
A short time ago a law was passed here in Texas to ban artwork that displays the names of fallen soldiers. I personally find this to be nothing short of despicable! It's "laws" like these that show the true colors of those who orchestrated this illegal war... pure yellowbelly shame!
The only reason anyone w...

We are in love with ourselves.
We look to each other
in search of that which is already found within.
That which lies within can,
just as readily,
be found in the eyes of every enemy and every friend.
Meant to meet time and time again...
Like these two lovers;
The paper and the pen.
Perceived separate
only by the eyes of the unrealized.
The smile of an old man
passes onto a childish grin
and on it proceeds,
again and again...
Peace and love pervade
even in the...

as some of you may have noticed I have not been all that active on tribe lately. September was a very busy month for me... and, if it weren't for the unfortunate fact that a fire took out the sandwich shop I was working at, I would probably still be just trying to 'catch up'! but, since this extra time has suddenly become avalible I thought I would use it to give everyone an update on how things have progressed over the past month.
In Augest I made mention of a group of community members...

Can you feel the buzz of life in the fractal of space-time? -- We are there!
The name of [god] is merely an invocation of [her] spirit; you can call it though [he] may not hear it.
It is in silence that [his] voice comes to ear; it is in darkness that [her] spirit shines so clear.
Under the vast sky of emotion there comes a sound; clear and sharp it’s carried over the breeze.
Around this tree of devotion [her] song will always abound; smooth and soft it caresses the leaves.
There is no cloth without a seam; there is no mind without a dream.
This, inherently I know, though no eyes have ever seen!
Some would then inquire, what is than the nature of being;
If it is beyond even that which can be seen?
For this there is no answer, less ye knower perceives;
I dream without being […]
Look beyond the surface to find the perfection in all things!
"Practical and Inspirational!"
"Powerful beyond all sense and definition."

when we come across fellow human beings that silently
works to uplift humankind. Small definite steps towards
walking gently and joyously on this planet Earth.
This is one of those beings.
