My Last Christmas Card of 2014

To represent the predatory nature
 we have made of the event, 
and prepare for 2015.

I Am Glad

that neighbourliness,
if not yer actual Christianity,
is alive and kicking
against the state
in 'christian' America.

Life

is what puts the fun into funerals.

Necessary Pain

Reversing turbo-capitalism for the masses
and reclaiming community life for the community
in small towns naturally means working
around the painful stage known as bankruptcy. 

No Comment

Though there is now this as an alternative.

My Second Christmas Card Of 2014

'Red hills with white shell' by Georgia O'Keeffe,
 oil on canvas 1938, from here.

Calmness Takes Time

Humility is an attribute rarely displayed by converts,
keen to prove their conversion to a given system,
the better for further conversion to said belief.
But when a believer has believed long enough
to take Faith seriously, but not literally,
and knows from the inside their own absurdity-
then they find the generosity in their belief.
