way back in premillennial times
before Permaculture Design had taken...

The parameters of today, yet most lay dormant inside of me

In passionate psychology,
powers of proactive compassion
are generally thought of in personal
and familial
interdependently relational

I stand, a prism refracting the multitude of hues of the "isms,"
Each beam a story of belief, a spectrum of convictions.

Character.

That's where the biggest measurements,
truest tests of worth
should lie.

The enormous happenings
Like worries and wars, weakness’
Darkness that shadows 
Even the most beautiful thoughts

In the area of dominion, where elitism wields
Altruism flickers as a beam of light in the field.
