Justice

What is at the core of my being?

What is it that makes me soldier on?

Why live to fight another day?

For love? For money? For What?

As long as I can remember

The days have come and gone

Inspiration ebbs and flows away

away away

Some days I find the place,

The excitement of it fills me and all will be OK

But no, not today.

How could I ever ask her to understand?

How could I promise her what was not there to give.

If I could only will it I would,

But no, there was no will that could

And time and time again the burden

The terrible weight of nothing crushing

No corner is dark enough to hide you

When the searcher is inside you

So many dreams while mindless hours parade

Flashed across a silver lining like a meaningful charade

246 thousand hours made all the silly ideas fade

So many hopes the fool danced out

And now just sad and lonely lout

But wait...

one dream has truly come about

Work and work and sweat believe

This time the ring you will retrieve

Start afresh, and no more lies

Shielded from the love starved cries

But not to be for all the tries

Betrayed by one for years I trust

To understand the things I must

For drive me dreams they must

But all the ends will all be just.

Purposes of The Corporation revised

The "Purposes" of a not-for-profit corporation, in our case, The Sweetwater Creative Collective, is a legal statement of the way in which The Collective intends to fulfill its Mission. Our Mission is to help people share their abundance in order to ease suffering.

The suffering touches everyone in some way, this begs the question, how does one go about easing suffering? Before we're able to address any of these issues individually, we must first ask ourselves, what's the root cause of so much suffering? In a word, dysfunction. The level of suffering is increasing, dysfunctional families have become the norm, the mental health pandemic is fueling ubiquitous self-medication in all stratum of our socioeconomic paradigm. Dysfunction begets dysfunction, how do we fight an onslaught which comes from with...

It was a stranger who told me about you, the ways in which you help She said a lot that day, she made me think, she understood She knew she did, what’s in my head, maybe better than I. It moved me so, this stranger with the compassion for I, someone she’d only just met Someone she’d never met in reality yet could offer up advice so sage and true How ironic that she hid her puffy eyes and yet brought tears to mine. The more I learned the more drawn I felt By someone who seems to know me Know me so well and so instinctively The more I read the more I saw our pain was quite akin So here I am again, wondering and wandering Too many things to contemplate too many trains to catch It’s time to move on, forge a path for better or worse Stay true, head up and honest And time will tell what’s in the mirror Days pass by and scattered thoughts collect here It’s time to retreat and tend the wounded The future is in his hands and my strength is what he needs Gentle and active Understanding and learn...

Coming of Age

The whales at play they make big waves Dance with ease on clear blue seas 20 tonnes to pirouette Now that’s a sight you’ll not forget The wolf cubs wrestle growl and bite Instinct teaches life’s mean plight The young hunter’s time will come When sad destiny destroys his innocence And hunger reigns o’er his kingdom
