Celebrating Our Goddess, MOTHER EARTH
Mother Earth in all her glory.
We're apart of her, this god that we stand on and lie upon and LIVE from. The only god that we KNOW that exists for sure.
We fight and kill and destroy over what we think might be next. And in the meantime, we're living blasphemy upon our Mother...Truly.
But, as destructive as the human can be, we're also capable of IMMENSE love and beauty. And I see it demonstrated often.
One of the biggest favors that I feel that we can do for ourselves is to shed the false constructed reality of our insignificance.
To DE-construct it. Because it's not true.
We make a difference whether we like it or not.
So, I plan to be bold, have faith and courage. And I plan to live my life to my last breath in the hopes that I'll leave this place better.
And I hope that you'll join me. Because I could use some company.

Will and I were talking the other day about how we think that George W. and Dick Cheney, their families AND the entire cabinet and their families should all be sent over to Iraq for the duration of our occupation. I think that sounds fair.
Last Wednesday that asshole George W. was up to his same old stupid bullshit;
"Rather than staking out a set of ambitious goals for America to strive for, the President argued that the United States should do nothing about global warming until 2025. I can't believe he said it with a straight face.
Please sign my petition to President Bush now -- tell him to stand up and join the fight to stop global warming!"

"Senator McCain wants to raise oil company profits by another 18 cents per gallon -- by eliminating the federal gas tax without guaranteeing that Big Oil won't just keep prices high and take the difference to grow their record profits even more.
That's the same old outdated politics of the past.
If John McCain really wants to put money back in our pockets, he needs to take it out of Big Oil's. That means voting to cut their subsidies and using that money to help build the clean energy economy.
Will you sign the petition to tell Senator McCain to end giveaways to Big Oil and invest in clean, renewable energy?
Senator McCain is not alone. Republican Senators like Mitch McConnell, Pete Domenici and others are blocking efforts to take back billions in taxpayer-funded giveaways to Big Oil in order to invest in clean, renewable energy."

It's really not; "WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!"
We already do. What kind of difference do you make?

I am proud to say that I make an enormous difference in the amount of french vanilla ice cream on the shelves at the local market. You see, I go there? And I buy it. Then I eat it.
Yum.
Here's the thing I learned being a therapist and working in the Open Grove. We can only do what we do because we want to and we have integrity. We never know the difference we make. We must do something - even if it's just eating ice cream - because it is in our human nature to act and be active.
The change we create is beyond our control.
Great post Kevin - love ya!
Awesome post! I have to invite you to see what my little 4-H group is doing for Earth Day!

I bet you'll be impressed by what the kids have accomplished!
And I just signed up for Freecycle! Thanks for the link.
I love the idea of having the Bush family go live in the Iraq/Iran until the end of the "occupation". I think the entire cabinet should go with them, too.
What do I do? Try and make good choices on a daily basis and be less of a 'consumer.' I do make and use my on cloth grocery bags. I've nearly given up paper towels and paper plates.
Oh... And I stopped cleaning the house - you know - all those chemicals. :)
Wait until 2025? Crazy.
oh, darling, somehow the title just made me think of being in Delphi at the purported navel of the earth where goddess , mother earth was worshipped. you should go there with will. if i were totally loaded, i'd send you the tickets. the place is magical.
it's posts like this make me want to have sex with you, Kevin. and then I remember -- you'd never have sex with me.
because i'm old.
sigh.
Claudia - I love you, but I strongly disagree. I believe that the change we create IS our control. Hence the reason for the entire fucking post.
Mrs. B Bradley - Thank you. :) And I'll be certain to check it out. It sounds rather inspiring!
Tami W - Thank you, we thought so. I don't want them harmed. I just want the held responsible for their actions.
Gretchen - HA! me too. My Mom says that she only cleans when she's depressed. And she hasn't been depressed since the 40's. The 1940's.
Liv - Thanks, baby. I wish we could...one day. One day. Until then, I'll live vicariously through you. it helps with you being a goddess yourself and all, no?
lildb - HA! Hey Stranger! Made me burst out laughing, my friend.
