transparently and vulnerably
compassionately, so non-violently, share,
what to communicate;

Which narrative tributaries to choose
within this vast spacetime stream
of choices
directions
felt depressions...

What do I mean
when I struggle to define my vocation
as a Climate Activist?

How am I anxious
and how might I more positively
anticipate?

An Activist,
hoping for resilient interrelationship
and resonant communication equity,
feedback and forth loops,
is, first, a listening contemplative,
Reflector,
Meditator,

Swaying pendulum of the hypnotist
Impossible for mind-body to resist
It transfixes our attention in a trance
Stillness then being our only chance

Fact that singularity contains duality
Self inflicted hypnosis blocking clarity 
Is known only in stillness and silence

‘Eat when hungry, sleep when sleepy’, adage,
simple enough, for a child innocent. 
Why then with insomnia, war we wage?
Methinks, due to bubbling thoughts resident,
we stagnate, mired in ego sediment.

How firmly they stand,
the spires of history
that no one can destroy.
What a curious melange
of hate and love
and yesterday's antipathy.
Indifferent they are,
leaving us their basic legacy-- 
shining, mocking; it is their heritage,
and the winds of change...

THE MEDITATOR

 Oh what joy it seems to me
Drinking an early morning tea.

While watching the sun rise across the Bay
Changing night into day.

My Maltese, lies stretched across my knees
Knows he's not here to play but...

Heart melting into each words inflexion 
Feeling softly, paper creases crumpled
We drew in each breath by resonation

The pen that so wrote, held by loves own hand
Bare canvas enlivened by touch...

Thinker thinking
A doer doing
Meditator meditating
Non-doer doing
Thus differentiating
Aspects of disassociating 
Likewise observed by observer
Yet the mind does filter
Whilst transcendence
Requires pristine innocence 
Not a doing or non-doing
But a happening
When we cease to size
And simply vaporise
