What we see
Now, what we see can help them see.

We dim and blaze, go and come, pulsate: we imagine a better world for the grandchildren.

Bathe in sunlight
In those houses
Whose solar panels
Heat the water
The people bathe
In sunlight!

Footprints in the Windsm # 1821–What you never dared whisper
Footprints in the Windsm # 1821
What you never
dared whisper
say aloud
your words
come out of
a great heart
your heart
and the great heart
share one beat

Facial fault lines
Can we use our facial fault lines? James Hillman, in The Force of Character and the Lasting Life, asks “What ethical damage occurs when the faces of elders are rarely on view?” (p 150) If the completed face of the culture is on display in the face of the old, then we’d ought to get our old faces out there. Do character studies. See where we are headed.

Years are for sorting
Elder years are for sorting
The less important from the more
A time for poets and grandchildren
A time to be poets and playmates

Nor teachers nor libraries
Elders less teach knowledge than ways
Less are libraries of the culture
than shapers, refiners, redirectors
