👁️ Observing the social equations of Life 👁️
Pinned
movements
unbounded resistance
mere trysts in the air
candles lodged in my heart
cavorting against the pace
unknown treks in time
from the crawls before me
imprinting this glorious flash
only there is no quota
in the vulnerable moments

Having just been through the desert carrying a guy with no name, it felt good to get out of the rain.

collaborative curiosity
writing a world
by balancing
a refined conclusion

these eyes,
wells of gravity
light capturing devices
these hues,
reflective thoughts
rising beneath the spaces
in-between
an ever-breaking day

When a person has been ‘othered’, their humanity is often reduced and ridiculed in the eyes and minds of others.

endless splendor
confessions murmured
deep night
watching witnessing
rowdy thrums
dream whispers
dancing tango
on tongues

show me that enchanted topography
the place where our feet bare
trod gentle upon the earth
dancing working
exploring understanding
resting playing
standing tall

mindfulness traced
natural ambiguity breathing
darkness and silence
the last face of light
and the reassurance
of an angel hour
stirring the dust
muted negatives and then

By challenging others to simply identify the unethical behavior and inhumane practices of humanity, I have found that it is a good place to begin an open dialogue. #MyTake

Grading 207 environmental ethics exams. Concepts. Land Health. Policies. Theory. Water Quality. Last test before the holiday break next week, then back to the final push through the fall semester and final exams. So far this semester, there has been no crying. 🤓👏🏻

One key question: what do we need to create stable and decent human communities that can thrive in a sustainable relationship with the larger living world? We need a radical feminist challenge and an uncompromising rejection of men's assertion of a right to control those who identify as female.✌️
