Welcome

WELCOME TO THE GREEN PEN!

It's my personal soapbox, a place for me to express thoughts and feelings, musings and rants, reflections and recollections; to have fun with words -- about things spiritual, environmental, social, political, economic, and, from time to time, personal. And of course about peace. Soapboxes are in public places (as London's legendary Hyde Park) on purpose, and so I invite conversations with you, for it is through civil discourse that we can gain some perspective on the seeming chaos of these changing times and learn together how to shape a positive future for ourselves, our communities, and the generations to come.

Dead and Alive












Dead and Alive

April blooms burst forth,
a baize ablaze with sunshine.
Life in the Valley of Death.

Celestial Promise








  

Celestial Promise

White puffs of promise
dabble heaven’s blue canvas.
Parched limbs stretch skyward.
