• There is No Dark Future! Part 2: A poem & photo series.

  A poem continued. An offering of hope. Like so many of you I have been on a spiritual journey the past year and a half. New Wisdom has been given to me. Words of truth our souls are aching to know. Thank you so much for reading these frail words which are spoken through me.…

• Setting the Record Strait Part 2

  I was at Mt. Shasta writing about one of the most surreally difficult nights of my life, right before another strange event occurred on this mountain. Truth can be a stranger dance than any of our fictions. You see, I slipped through the trapdoor of my mind after a BLM celebration, on the night of…

• Radically Rooted in 2021

  I asked what my mantra for 2021 should be & found a black diamond run named “Radical” while skiing yesterday. It seems sort of obvious considering my Instagram name/other account which was inspired by the BLM & social justice revolution in America last summer. The revolution for human rights which continue today. The label “Radical”…

• Rider of Waves (Part 2)

  

  In the process of becoming unconditional, you become like water. In living your truth in resilient flexibility you will start setting yourself & others free. Everything in the known existence shares pools from some part of the 118 elements. We all come from the same initial Source. We are fulfillments of the genetic promises brought…

• Dressed to Suppress pt. 1

  It’s 2 days before the US elects another president. And it’s hard to pretend that social justice and human rights aren’t just below my level of awareness almost every moment of waking life. That most of us are hopeful and unsure, afraid of what will happen to our country for the next 4 years. Because…

• Let Freedom Ring 07/04/20

  

  Some men are of the opinion that God gave them Earth to rule as their dominion. Beasts to subdue Manifest lands to ravage Peace was slaughtered Its Peoples were called Savage. Modern generations birthed beneath fluorescent glows God became irrelevant when man learned fire all his own. But I’ve always felt more akin to Icarus…

• The Protest Manifestos: Excerpts (Volume 1)

  

  For we lie with primordial oppressors pressing up and against each other. An eternal cycle of validation and degradation. Creation, present being, and destruction. Every action is in effort to achieve a goal. The Earth’s plates rubbed against each other and created mountains. Seas were parted in the birthing of Volcanoes. Nations rise in valorous…
