Whats It All About?

Its all about the twisting, turning, thinking, learning, bass pounding coffee grounding, love-making, risk-taking, life, yo.

I believe that everyone deserves to be treated like a human being, to not be hungry, to not be afraid. I believe that a country has the responsibility to take care of its citizens, and I believe that everyone has the responsibility to look after those in their community, the global community. Finally, I believe that every human life is as equally valuable as the next; it doesn't have a price tag. You could say I'm an idealist, but really I'm just not willing to settle for less.

Climbing

Above me

branches spiraling outwards
pine needles like barbed wire
fraught with mines of sap

Above me

guarding the sanctuary within
a network of hand holds and
perching places

Above me

a childhood playground
drawing the youth inside me
like magnets on the fridge

Above me

a chalenge, taunting me
adventure waiting
a risk worth taking--

the world,

Below me.

    Maddie have I ever told you that when you describe feelings you always pick the most images. I love your poetry. I can't even pick one part... the pine needles like barbed wire, your 'magnet' attraction :)
    Your wonderful Love.
