i believe
in the powerful symbolic gesture of carrying a reusable mug
in stories well-told
riding bicycles
not owning what we don’t need
in used book stores
undusted jackets
in telling our children the truth, always, even when it’s difficult
unseen acts of integrity
libraries
loose tea
light rail
long hand
the poems of mary oliver, the teachings of thich nhat hanh, the kick drum of john bonham, the leadership of joanna macy
eating slowly while sitting down
sitting down
standing up
the innate human capacity to live in tune with nature
magic
spirits
and our brilliant bright blue blossoming
future.
