And then wolves and thunderstorms and Sun Ra and Beethoven and raging floods and in Savitri D's News From The Natural World amazing Earth life is confronted by the killers of life, our…
The Earth knows how to blow the wind so that everyone has the same shock that the time is NOW The same common sense thought, the same turbulence, the same emotion, the same temptation, the same Hold Everything… Now is the time to let the Earth have her way with us, the dare the polluting powers that be, to change how we live and go forward into our new life of Peace, with our fellow humans, and…
Outside of Musk’s children and rockets, there is a place beyond society that is the conscious sky, the conscious ocean…. And all the original people who escaped the rich murderers’ idea of “Normal Everyday Living” are there. If we are allied with the moon and the stars, the mycelia and the murmurs of trees through roots, the dancers outside the Trump ballroom will give us our new Mother. And…
What soft fire persists under the hundreds of miles of devastation that are left in sorrowing survivors, unexploded bombs, and ashes?The flowers, spiders, invisible bacteria, shadows of eagles, oozing stews of life coming up through the rubble, pushing aside the folly of our empire. Happens again and again. Viet Nam, Chile, Nicaragua, Vieques, Lumumba, Allende, Chico Mendes, Fred Hampton, Leonard…

But our sensory experience of a thing has been blown up and filled with attention-manipulating vibrating light, a bubble the size of Grand Central…
These hot summer days, we're trapped in a kind of strait of Hormuz. Stuck in the sludge of AI info floods, dying oceans, ICE murders… This is the Billionaire economy, and we need new disruptions in our traditional logic. We need the Earth to step in and lead us to our new strangeness. Call it accelerated evolution. Will we be “Strange Enough To Change Enough”? Out of extinction evolves new…
Temperatures are high and the waters are rising, what we thought was the future is here now. It’s tempting to back out of the dilemma, or to turn away but Earth tells us to stay with it, push on push on. Communities of change are all around, you just have to pay attention. Find your people!
The billionaires and their AI investors are moving the base-line of what is normal life in our consumer society, expanding from the platform of addiction that is the commercial screen. The important development in our time is not instantaneous information- it is lack of realism about evil; it is our failure to defend what is good. The gutting of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 is the loss of equal…
ICE controls our change through random terror. AI dilutes our watching into endless information. LOVE evolves strength in us and returns us to our home in wild nature, Bird's be-bop and a young girl's fresh honesty.
And you don't need to run into an industrial wind tunnel powered by the White Christian Nationalist generator... You don't need to take them on.
