Great beasts devour
the nourishment
where thought is born
on rivers of darkness.
Warriors of the slender arrow
thrive there in beauty,
and refuse the poison flower.
They map the Dog Star
in the night sky above
and the journey of Earth
through dark and light.
From above and below
wisdom guides them,
beyond broken forests
to the open savannas
of remembered green glory.

Reading of “Remembered Green Glory” with music by Tinariwen.
It’s the remembered green glory that keeps the light on, shows us what the warriors fight is about.
Appreciate the inner journey on this one Don.
And here’s to your Irish ancestors!!
Go n-eiri a bother leat… may the road rise up to meet you. 💚
To map each creative thought nourished in the rivers of a night sky’s womb-like darkness, I must sense, recognize, then orient apace to the Dog Star, the brightest star to be discerned then and there. Let’s, You and Me, BE Serius (seriously!) as we recollect the Green Glory in unison together!
trippy — it is good making this journey with you
