about me
Working on two books, one on permaculture paradigms, one on microbes saving the world (adventure story!).
I'm participating in a project on Pine Ridge reservation that is expanding sustainable industry on the rez.
I'm working with others to create an artist's ecoretreat, possibly in the Shasta area of Calif. It is going to be awesome! Part of this project is creating learning environments highly conducive to people exploring truths for themselves. The organization working on this, EarthBridge Institute, will soon have a web site.
Meanwhile, keeping up my community food forest in Los Angeles and continuing to learn about the most amazing science of permaculture.
I'm a musician, dancer, writer and poet and performing in various venues around Los Angeles. Maybe I'll post them here if I remember!
The underlying theme is my participation in the creation of truly regenerative culture, which is so much nicer of a way to live!

Abandoned by each other
Entombed

We don’t see
Our spirits tumbling
In freefall
Waiting for wings
They lay at our sides

He is
Slow moving
Sluggish
Like a storm gathering
His sound
Like a vortex
Felt more than heard
The power in him
Deceptive
Hidden in recesses
Gentle, warm, caressing
If you don’t resist
Fierce force unyielding
If you do

Entombed
In our plastic fortresses
We don’t see
Our spirits tumbling
In freefall
Waiting for wings
They lay at our sides
Dormant, shriveled
Trapped by our
Politeness, our panic
The attractively tight fit
We have designed for ourselves
We don’t fly now, but walk
Through empty streets
And blank eyes
Stupified hearts
Avoiding those things we would
Rather not hear
The stifled cries
From our hand-crafted prisons
We ...

you choose two at last:
wanting things you can’t touch
denial of things you can
your fingers flutter from one to the other, burning

Felt more than heard
The power in him
Deceptive
Hidden in recesses

If you don’t resist

Master of everything
In his path
He carries all
In his warm embrace
He pervades and penetrates
All places
He twists and balls
His mighty energies
Forces
Aligned toward one purpose
One direction
One feels
His yearning
A sounding in his depth...
