My foster brother just spent an hour telling me that I am not a weapon. Instead it is my most ardent desire to be a planter of seeds. This is why. A world full of places to call home, and people to live together in them, is the only thing worth striving for.
I grew up in Christian fundamentalism, went to hell, came back, became a Presbyterian then a Buddhist Presbyterian, and now I'm a profane Presbyterian Zen Taoist -- not that I'm into labels or anything. Here's what I've learned so far: The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

Children’s Story
Dig that hole above
The earth’s protective shell, let
Radiation singe
The glaciers and oil, dissolve
Rapunzel’s hair and false teeth.

Children’s Story
What fill the holes? Bones
Knocked about in wheelbarrows
Of armies crossing
The Alps. Scavengers and thieves
Wave hello, hung from the trees.

This made me burst into tears.

Thank you.
