That Fish Eye

I like to think about that fish eye I ate one night showing off, being funny for friends during an elegant dinner. It was nothing like I thought it would be. The eye was hard like a corn kernel and I had to bite hard to get through it, through to its essence of all things slimy and fishy, enveloped in sticky sea drool. If I never eat another fish eye again I won’t be sorry. But I’m glad I did that once, for I do love to think about my teeth tearing through that eye into its disturbing pupil. Surprise. LE

Soul Cleansing

Got that old cry ache in my being, feel like drenching myself with buckets of wet, warm, soft, salty tears, just letting it pour out, the old soul cleansing trick. In this frame of mind the sunset hurt tonight. It was that beautiful and I was that full. LE 1983

Truth Matters

Let’s keep talking truth and what’s important in our lives. It is the stage we are meant to experience if we are lucky, and I think we all are. LE

Beautiful Fools

We must dance and sing and see and breathe. We will make beautiful fools of ourselves loving life and being grateful for the living of it. LE

Revolution

In our day to day living we are carrying on the revolution by action, example, involvement in different organizations for peace, and direct person to person communication of the feelings. LE 1971

Life Force

Life is the pinnacle of the Peace Pole. It rises and grows from the depths of a poisoned earth. It is the culmination of the love, care and concern that it takes to heal a community. The Life Force is energy that will go on with us or without us. We choose love; we heal our earth, we heal ourselves. We are the earth. LE

Despairing Heart

I think I am just STUCK. I don’t know how to use my abilities to change the freakshow this country has become. I don’t know how to make it better. LE

When Lorelei entrusted me with her recorded words, she asked me when sharing to keep the message positive. It hasn’t been difficult because she left a treasure trove of inspiration. But the truth is she was not tripping on Pollyanna acid. She sometimes struggled with despair and depression. Yet she overcame it by refocusing on her core beliefs that we are all connected to each other and to nature, and that goodness will prevail. Hope. That is what she gave us. So I will sometimes share sad moments to underline that truth about her. VJW

Come Together

I pray that we will come together in solidarity against the sanctioned violence that has been given free reign in our country. LE

The Opening

Eyes, ears and heart open wide I continue on the path, heavier than before. I pray for the opening and release for our world in peace and understanding and with love. LE
