Poet, writer, nature photographer, and festival hopper. Pre-history is my favorite topic. Humanity spread peacefully across the globe, coexisting and thriving. History is a shitshow. My truth: peace is in the moment; happiness is a frequency shared.

Fire gazing is the best rabbit hole. We’ve gathered around fire Since before we were human, But not before community. The peace felt are the memories Of our thousands of ancestors. That peace isn’t a lie. It’s a promise.

Fire has made itself easy to summon. Fire pits are readily available. Everyone has access To fire communion And the unlocking of Ancestral and genetic memories; If only someone told them It was better than watching tv.

Perception is 90% velocity. It’s like looking out the window At the supports of guardrails On the freeway. What’s stable was invisible Until I slowed to the wheel Of the seasons. Every moment Is a miracle at that speed.

“You’re too smart for your own good.” Yeah because it’s for the goodness of others. I prefer to wear my intelligence as a corsage Rather than a badge. Being smart doesn’t make you good But being good makes everyone happy.

Everyone you meet will be unlike Anyone you’ve ever met before And better than you expect. Kindness returns kindness; Empathy magnifies love. Every interaction is butterfly wings

Trust intuition Until it's proven wrong. Sometimes intuition Is bias in disguise. New data is always welcome. Mine confirms my bias. I’m plugged into nature And she never lies. The wheel turns and Seasons change But there’s never a time Or a season for hate.

When a friend dies All our memories are reborn. It’s not an end But a remembering And sweet sadness. Those memories will never Be forgotten again. They'll live in us forever.

I don’t believe we’re tilted toward evil. I don’t believe in yin and yang. I think we’ve always been good In our neighborhoods; We’ve always been good To each other. Evil comes from the outside And must be invited in. Community will be the safety net When it all falls down.

Fear disappeared Once I realized Life is eternal. Death doesn’t exist. The only thing temporary Is our identity. Life and joy, Love and bliss Go on into the future As deep as the past: Eternally like fractals Endlessly unfolding.

Fear is the enemy. That’s how terror works. If you feel unsafe And withdraw, they win. Retreat is only valid To fight another day. Withdrawing Is not retreating. It’s surrender.

If you’re despairing, Seek love. There’s no hope Without love. Love is the foundation Of everything good. It’s the sunshine and rain. It’s what makes the world go round. Love is everything; It’s the blood in our veins.

There’s always been blood and murder. There’s always been love and nurturing too. There’s outrage and there’s action. There’s sympathy and action. Hate never wins. We’ve fought this battle before. Love always wins. It’s our superpower.

History is a blink of an eye Compared to prehistory. Eyes wide open then. Let it all in. It never ends Or begins, only blooms, Endlessly reborn. The present is an oasis And the eye of the storm.

Experiencing the peace In the silence of winter Changed me. I met so many Embracing ancestors there. World peace never ceased. It’s always been in winter’s silence. The stars and winter moons Remember, as did I. Winter’s silence is full of peace And so am I.

If I have to look For something to watch, Why watch anything? If I don’t know what I want To hear, maybe silence Is what I’m craving. Most times being unplugged Is how I truly plug in.

Anyone can build a fire But it takes experience to summon one. Every fire I summon is sacred. I don’t know how to summon any other. Every fire is a community fire And community is sacred.

Those who are suffering Don’t want to share it. They hope for relief For everyone. Those who wish suffering on Others will receive their own. Justice isn’t a concept. It’s an unforgivable scale That tilts towards equality.

The eternal moment is perfect, But you don’t need to be perfect To experience it. Being imperfect Allows us to imagine that we are. Everyone is who they are Together in the moment. If it doesn’t feel like bliss You’re on the wrong frequency.

“Do you have any regrets?” Not since reaching synchronicity. Mistakes were made. Lessons learned. Every cringe quaked a new beginning. “No regrets at all\?” Every single one but I embrace them.

Rain is sacred. It waters the roots. As below, so above. Our roots are life’s core. Most life is below ground; I’m happy to be a ground walker And winter silence disciple. I turn with the wheel And am grounded.

The tree of good and evil Wasn't indigenous. At first there was only The tree of life And all ate from it And drank eternal waters. There was only life And more life For awhile. Death Was outnumbered.

It’s bottomless Before the dawn. I thought the sun wouldn't Ever rise again, Not just for me But for everyone. “It’s all a simulation!” But it’s not. It rose. It’s real. Sundials know That time is eternal But sunlight is variable. Time passes through us all.

The eternal moment unites us all But we all experience it differently. Embrace whatever yours is. If you're a warrior, jump in. Every moment is a gateway To a better world. Time is fluid; We make the future in the now. There's unity in the vast community.

How many flowers in rifle barrels This time? How many students Need to die? How deep must the suffering Go before we say “No More!” ? I don’t know but I’m here for it; It’ll be something small And insignificant but it’ll come. When it does, we’ll be a force Of nature and will overcome.

The more you know The less you need to believe. Faith is for those who Know almost nothing. I know love and empathy And the turning of the wheel. I don’t need to have faith At all. I know us and here.

Summer nights Feel like spring days With starlight and crickets. Summer days I can do without But they’re the portal To summer nights. Everything is connected And the pendulum swings. The only constant is change And love and community.

The path of Least resistance Runs downhill, Circling the drain. The path of Most alignment Flows uphill Towards utopia. Spirit isn’t bound By gravity; it’s elevated By connection And community. The path of violence Ends in violence. Peace always wins After wars end.

Freedom isn't free But everyone pays For free dumb. Education is cheaper. Community is free. It existed before money. Same with nature and Fire circles and dancing; The stars, moon, and The turning of the wheel. The best of life Is free. The dom costs extra.

I’m more moonshine and moth Than sunshine and butterfly. I’m more alive at night And only exist during the day. I prefer stars and planets To blue sky and sun. I perfer bright dancing campfires That cast shadows. Every night is a day off.

Humans are more powerful Than yellow jackets or hornets When their nests get disturbed. Most revolutions are relatively quick. The world’s 4th largest Economy's community Will show us how resistance Is done. Unlawful orders Are unconstitutional. I have faith in Americans.

Life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness Can be condensed down to Let everyone live their own lives And they’ll let you do the same. Judging others has never been a right. It’s always been a wrong.
