Straining Together

Our cognitive and emotional struggles against dissonance of all varieties,
and struggles for more resonant love 
and resilient health

How hard to soften the grudge
Telling me that...

Only Racists Drink Here

The light is low but the music loud,
blaring from fiddles and steel guitars.
The bar is filled with a moderate crowd,
could be anywhere, but here they are,
drinking and two-stepping in this bar.
But the sight of them...

Religiously Spiritual

There’s no spirituality in religion
as there’s no religion in spirituality,
One is religiously unspiritual
The other, spiritually unreligious!

The gods of man’s many religions

One is the fallacy of the mind
The other
is the...

Time Well Spent

My thoughts, not like what can be written on paper -
A paper so thin that you can see through,

And about all of life there is a story told
About existence of each desire and goal
Arrival of each one as it starts to unfold.

A Memorial

For hills and ideals we died,
How many dreams went buried with us
No one shall ever know.

Created by men who sit behind polished wood desks
We strangers met in unnamed places
Where we slew one...
