together we work

sweat dripping in summer heat

harvest soon come




vibrant magenta

handfulls of ambrosia

the peony blooms




racing towards sun

like the phoenixes of myth

the fever sent me



twilight falls swiftly

moon rushing on charcoal sky

stillness fills my mind

forest spirit

take that time to be alone in the woods, to breathe deep the wet boggy marsh, the fair pillow of moss beneath our feet, enjoy the rapture of the wind upon your cheeks, the deep intake of air as it takes you higher and higher still, onward to the heavens..

Mystics and Revolutionaries

collapse module

from a story that is worth my writing...

When I reached land, the revolution was in full swing.
The streets black and thick with Pollutants of war raining down from the sky, nobody was left, just scattered people with scattered attempts of fleeing uncertain times…

my times at sea seemed so peaceful now, so full of the safeness of home and community,
I took it all for granted,
My whole life in fact, I never really realized how special everything was, the plants outside my home in Arboles, their sweet jasmine ambroisa, or the night wind of the arctic, coming home on my sled through snow and ice, that chill of winter but warmth of dryness always present,
My sensual time in India growing and learning about myself and the world, growing up around family and carnival and all the splendors of a nomadic lifestyle, available through avoidance of the system on the part of my parents
All of this was now gone, the land was overrun with the exploits of capitalism, things hung and sagged as if shuddering slightly from the bleakness of it all.
~ coco la rouge, from the Dawn Magenta

mystics and revolutionaries:

"Every real revolutionary is challenged to be a mystic at heart, and one who walks the mystical way is called to unmask the illusory quality of human society. Mysticism and revolution are two aspects of the same attempt to bring about radical change. No mystics can prevent themselves from becoming social critics, since in self-reflection they will discover the roots of a sick society. Similarly, no revolutionaries can avoid facing their own human condition, since in the midst of their struggle for a new world they will find that they are also fighting their own reactionary fears and false ambitions. Mystics and revolutionaries must cut loose from their selfish needs for a safe and protected existence and face without fear their own miserable condition and that of the world around them. The appearance of Jesus in our midst has made it undeniably clear that changing the human heart and changing human society are not separate tasks, but are as interconnected as the two beams of the cross."
-- Henri Nouwen, The Wounded Heart, 1932-1996
