less organic
|

i am disappointed that our u.s. democratic republican representative congress recently lowered the standards for organic foods, not to benefit the consumer, not to benefit the grower or seller who cares about organic, but only to benefit those who wish to profit from the organic market without caring at all about it, and those who wish to sell their toxic sludge instead of paying to dispose of it, and to underhandedly sell their dubious chemicals and genetic engineerings and irradiations to an awakening public

Do I live up to my values?

Am I as kind to you as I want you to be to me?
Am I as considerate with you as I want you to be with me?
Am I as sensitive with you as I want you to be with me?
Am I as gentle with you as I want you to be with me?
Am I as patient with you as I want you to be with me?
Am I as sincere with you as I want you to be with me?
Am I as honest with you as I want you to be with me?
Am I as real with you as I want you to be with me?
Am I as open with you as I want you to be with me?
Am I as sharing with you as I want you to be with me?
Am I as generous with you as I want you to be with me?
Am I as responsible with you as I want you to be with me?
Am I as caring with you as I want you to be with me?
Am I as accepting of you as I want you to be of me?
Am I as supportive of you as I want you to be of me?
Am I as encouraging of you as I want you to be of me?
Am I as optimistic with you as I want you to be with me?
Am I as positive with you as I want you to be with me?
Am I as cheerful with you as I want you to be with me?
Am I as uplifting of you as I want you to be of me?
Am I as inspiring of you as I want you to be of me?
Do I confess everything,
every detail,
keeping no secrets,
or portions of secrets,
as I want you to with me?
Am I as good an example for you as I want you to be for me,
speaking no criticism of those not present,
dealing kindly, honestly, and fairly with all others,
even with the vile and with the weak,
taking good care of myself and possessions
and of everyone and everything entrusted to me,
taking responsibility for any need I see,
to the best of my ability,
even picking up trash that others have dropped,
even cheering up sad strangers,
even defending the slandered or wronged,
even when its unpopular or dangerous for me,
even when they are sinners or my enemies?
Do I live up to my values?

steaming wildwheat
hides
an underplay
of early sunsnakes
an allnight
toad
of no one
near
hubbub
in song--
trees
catches
us slowly
two souls
warmer
beneath
evaporating grass
the earth
and two thoughts
oscillate
midst
underhay
and flesh
the stealthy
hubbub
impinges limbs with cooking
and the binding
of hay

Forest Wet, Desert Dry
|
Oct 22, 2005 10:25 am

The forest is wet,
and the air is full,
and I watch you breathe.
Your skin is on fire,
your eyes are crackling,
and your throat gives birth.
The earth is alive,
and the leaves are rippling,
and the moon loses her balance.
And the clouds race,
and the trees sigh,
and the far birds laugh.
The desert is dry,
and the air is empty,
and I watch your stride.
Your hair is on fire,
your shoulders are crackling,
and your limbs give birth.
The earth is thirsty,
and the sands are sliding,
and the sun loses his balance.
And the eagle rests,
and the heat lies,
and all time is past.

truth & reality

i used to think that truth and reality are outside us, uniform and static, that different viewpoints are different degrees of accuracy of perception; ive gradually come to see that truth and reality are our creations, diverse and evolving
all theories are substitutes for perception; no two things are the same, and no one thing remains the same

if grass

if grass grows in the morning
we can look into its rise
lit from behind life-green
oh whether
and weather
if my love loves me in the morning
we can look into our eyes
lit from behind, hope-green
oh weather
yes whether
and if god tries in the morning
we can look into its skies
lit from behind; wonder-green
but if god lies
abed: and sighs
my love
let's reach it a rainbow

ethics, integrity, sincerity

Hi (Member).
In response to your proposition, I am not a home wrecker. I am not interested in covert betrayal, nor in open, sanctioned, all-party-consenting self-degradation. I am interested only in ethical friendships and an ethical monogamous partnership, all based on kindness toward all concerned, and sincerity and integrity toward all concerned, for the greatest and longest happiness for all concerned. I encourage you to be true to yourself and to your loved ones. No one can have everything. One is happiest, and makes all well-meaning others happiest, when one focuses on what one most truly desires and enhances just that, to the best of ones ability. I encourage you to make yourself and everyone around you as happy as you are able, no excuses. We get what we create. It may at times be difficult, but the time passes regardless of our choices, and the results of our thoughts and feelings and actions materialize regardless of our choices, so we may as well choose those we most truly desire. It is even more difficult to suffer the results of foolishness and selfishness and laziness than it is to struggle to behave wisely and benevolently toward self and others, no matter how hard, and no matter how many times we need to redirect ourselves. The choice is yours. The results are the effects of your causes. Be encouraged. If you want wholesome benevolent sincere ethical encouraging respectful kind communication, you may email me again, but please do not send me another offer for a massage or anything similar.
Best wishes,
poetdancer
