Beautiful, and of course it made me cry. I recently learned a lot more about Joanna Macy in the course I'm taking by Fr. Richard Rohr, on his book The Tears of Things: Prophetic Wisdom for an Age of Outrage". Joanna Macy was a force with which to be reckoned, and her work is as important today as it was decades ago. It is timeless and much-needed in this deeply unsettled world we find ourselves in now. I cannot express how much I love the idea of "the Council of All Beings", which is really the only way to access true wisdom and embrace the natural world. Nothing will change until we extricate ourselves from the death grip of our ego and live from our true Self, the one which understands everything is connected.

Wow. This is so deep. I'm a Conservation Assistant (a/k/a volunteer) with the South Carolina Aquarium, and our Resilience initiatives are based on community involvement, particularly with local, underserved communities, and I have so much respect for that kind of work. But the work that Abby does is a step far beyond what I could ever imagine myself doing. I am truly humbled, and inspired.

THE LOVESONG OF THE AMURKAN MAN

Let us go then, you and I

like an almost flatliner

spread out on a gurney

ready for angioplasty

Mr. GOOD OLD BOY

Mr. GOB

The GRUNCH of

The small-dicks

The fat-gut pres looking

For it with tweezers
