of some primitive slaughter...
So near, yet so far.
A Surfeit of...

Earth's Teachable MomentsWhen Earth’s self-educational story did not yet include the self-awareness resources of DNA,
when all Earth’s Tribes were RNA rooted in composting soil,
what did we learn

Humanity of HorsesMy internal experience of depression
today shames
external ecology of elation,
all I might know as warm extended family
of profoundly peaceful impressions
still bare surviving

To explore blurred mornings when the sun rises.

to trust whomever
and whatever is our Other right now
with open caring empathy,
even when we may feel like withdrawing
into suffering,

coconut-scented
musings called...
