partridge dance

partridge dance for the Mother
done re-done pre-done
help us find minoan honey
under millenial egyptian sun

rooted civilized slowness
in balance with Nature the key
local skills interdependance
true freedom for you and me

wake up calls

wake up call in every face
wake up call in street feet
walk to dance dance to walk
every step can be a treat

what is our intention
what are we here to do
just add to the entropy?
cook up a sacramental stew

screwdriver on the cymbal
bass drum thumper in hand
breath out tuba mira
throughout the land

350 day tomorrow
and every day thereafter
celebrate life - cut CO2!
me & you me & you

last night, seeing so many young people at a nagasaki vigil in winsted
last friday, making danceable music with children in falls village
each day, feeling deep connections possible across the generations
maybe, just maybe, we're moving past all the plunder and pillage

frequent vigils frequent dances affirming minute particulars of life
lighting candles putting words in phrases for peace, a continuing delight
tax resisters invited to amazing planet! farm & justice center in vermont
creating solutions to real problems is never fight and rarely flight
