A Desperately Needed Make Over

The audience looked at the photos and grimaced

at the ghastly condition of the dejected slob.

Most wanted to help; some wanted out of there.

They were told the person really was a good person,

but just didn't know how to take care of themselves.

The project began with detailed documentation.

Wash and polish.

Scrub and detoxify.

Trim the fingernails.

Cut and shape the straggly hair

into a better easy-to-care-for style.

Washing the clothes wasn't enough.

New clothes – practical and attractive –

were purchased.

They even fit.

The slumped over slob

started to sit a little straighter

and stand a little taller.

He no longer had to dodge the

offensive, belittling, judgmental looks

with each new thing that was done.

The kind words were more transformative

than anything else.

The grand finale was spectacular

He was cleaner and brighter

than anyone thought possible.

Everyone clapped and cheered

at the miraculous and positive make over

of this much-in-need abandoned soul.

The message is so very clear!

The problem was seen

The problem was acknowledged

A decision was made

Action was taken

Kindness magnified the effectiveness.

Results were amazing.

Now think bigger.

Much bigger.

Extrapolate.

Our planet needs a make over.

What can YOU do?

A Mighty Metaphor For Muddy Emotions

Little Sammy stood

Declaring ever so loud

I washed all by myself!

He was incredibly proud.

An inspection ensued

By his mother dear

Who confirmed with grace

That his face was indeed clear.

Now all that messy mud

That on his face had been spread,

Lay blatantly on his washcloth

Like dark and grimy lead.

Exuberant and unaware

Little Sammy still stood

Ankle deep in drainage mud

And did what every little boy would:

He jumped for joy

With a yell and a squeal

And couldn't understand

Why it was a big deal.

Fly With Me!

Fly with me

No plane

No jet

No apparatus of any kind

Just fly

Above the seas

Above the cities'

Tall buildings and long bridges

Hold your breath

Above the spewing factories

Deep breathe

Over mountain ranges

No fairy dust

Nor Peter Pan

No charted course

To limit us

Keep lifting up

And up and up

To the wondrous

And the new

Way beyond the atmosphere

Allow yourself to see

Don't even attempt to explain

Just be

Look back at earth

That blue marble in space

How beautiful it seems

From afar

The barely visible

Grid lines of light

Glow coherency

Into the world

Look up and see

Magnificent overseeing angels

Offering their wisdom

And love

They're counting on you

– On each of us –

To spread more light

And peace

Fill your heart

With thankful awe

And remember it

Every day

GMO Appeal

Why is it that some people

Think they can outsmart nature?

They gather big money behind them

Making them richer and ruining our future

The GMO tomato skins

Are shinier and hardly bruise

Wheat stalks filled with chemicals are bigger

So the chemical company can't lose

What are GMO's really?

Genetically Modified Organism?

No.

Gutted Mutilated Ouch

Designed to fill corporate's

Money pouch

Our grocery stores are full of

Genetically modified corn

From which no new corn

Can be born
