(found in Earthship, Volume I)
...
let the world fall away
to snowfalls of dust
and institutions of clutter
demanding dirty dishes and laundry
leave it all along the asphalt
there is lots of jungle left
the birds are blue and green
trees are truer than television
the sky holds a million sparks
for each of us
we are withering in our darkness
under electric light
our bleached sheets and blankets
will never be clean
we will not survive
until we set ourselves free.

A re-post from my previous travel blog, this still holds the same meaning to me today as it did when I originally discovered it 4 years ago.
Time travels all too quickly,at a startling rate. It's so easy to focus energy on the Past and the unpredictable future, the Pending. This is my first step in thoughtfully exploring and experiencing the third and most forgotten "P", the Present.
