Reconciliation

It’s time to move on and to put the hurt feelings behind me. As I expect no help, acknowledgement or compassion from anyone, the question is how to reconcile.

How can I expect respect from an institution that fundamentally disrespects life on this land? I have struggled with this question alot. But the truth is that only people who disrespect their own selves disrespect others. If you respect urself u extend that naturally to everyone. To all life. I proudly apologize to trees. I sit in awe of the seasons changing. I make it a point to cancel all my plans on the first real snowfall and watch it all evening.

I need no acknowledgement or confirmation from anyone. I respected myself enough to demand respect from others. I respected life enough to stand up and, however unorthodox, try to raise the alarm. What can people who disrespect the earth offer anyone? Not all mothers are good. But if u disrespect the earth then only the heavens can save Ur soul.

Go in peace. I make my own peace and will find my own way. People of such destruction deserve charity for they r not capable of understanding their own rights. Let us call it charity then. I did it because Ur souls were too poor to expect anything else from.

I think I shall set off.

With my fists in torn pockets.

This coat that is threadbare

I’ll follow you muse where you lead me again

Let us once more, think of loves so fine, ah so rare
