Autumn Wanes

Winter is approaching
Cold, crackling leaves

DEATH

snaps frozen trees
shaking among a frigid


14 degrees


This upcoming winter solstice will bring a clearing, cleansing tide of change magnified by the full moon's powerful aspect in conjunction with the December 21 change of season.

Breaking and Entering

Love and kindness

Soft side
Photographs
moving picture
It's all a part of me
... parts of you


However brief

be free again


A horizon
Skyline
Perfect
Imperfect
Poisoned

I don't need you
take me anywhere
but right here
This present.

Waste Free

Opposite late-night
convenience,
pre-made meals
and doggy bags
is a life that lives
without waste.

A waste-free life is not easy,
it's not quick
it contradicts
your entitlement.

Live without waste
consider consumption days ahead,
weeks ahead,
months
seasons
ahead
instead of minutes.

Fawn

Delicate fawn with bristly rust-golden hair
Your hooves press thin columns of leg into hardened February snow,
the likes of which you have likely never seen.

Your black eyes follow the sleek silver passenger train rushing through the forest.
This is where I saw you.

And this is when I wondered, is the heat of your breath puffed from your snout warm enough to melt snow hiding berries and leaves?
Did mother deer teach you to make a woodland bed to keep you alive through blizzard-brutalized nights?

Fawn,
what God wouldn't share
its intelligence with such an innocent creature?

DUST

Until the desert knows
That water grows

His lands suffice.

But let him once suspect
That Caspian fact

Sahara dies.

--Emily Dickenson

*Editors note: every single day we change

Departure Day

No coming No going
No after No before
I hold you close to me
I release you to be so free

Because I am in you
and you are in me...
Because I am in you
and you are in me

The Discovery of Energy Fields in the 1940s

We live in the information age and as for human neurological evolution, I'd say, if you don't know you don't know. Messages, data, maps, videos, text, impulses, feelings, rumors and lies are storming our consciousness.

Managing the in-flow of information to our minds challenges the psyche that resists pollution of personal mind-space or, conversely, evades recognition altogether.

Supposedly, I can only speak for myself in this regard of awareness, however, I'm going to risk it and say there are many others who share an ability to absorb information--knowingness--from the universe. And that's why I share with you the following:

The Astral Body of Life Energy
Scientific discovery of the electromagnetic energy that forms an organizing template for the physical body is described in Vibrational Medicine (Rochester, Vermont: Bear and Company, 2001), by Richard Gerber, M.D.: "Neuroanatomist Harold S. Burr at Yale University during the 1940s was styuding the shape of energy fields"-- which he termed "fields of life" or "L-fields" -- "around living plants and animals. Some of Burr's work involved the shape of electrical fields surrounding salamanders. He found that the salamanders possessed an energy field roughly shaped like the adult animal. He also discovered that this field contained an electrical axis which was aligned with the brain and spinal cord. Burr wanted to find precisely when this electrical axis originated in the unfertilized egg.... Burr also experimented with the electrical fields around tiny seedlines. According to his research, the electrical field around a sprout was not the shape of the original seed. Instead the surrounding electrical field resembled the adult plant."
