The stars you see in the night sky
Have been dead for centuries
Starlight creates the illusion
Of life for all these years

Now I no longer trust these eyes of mine
The heart must speak to me
In tongues of forgotten voices
In ancient harmonies
So that I can see

Heavens are merely illusions
When you build them high in the sky
And hell is the final solution
For those who have no faith in this life
They are blinded by lies

Here in the garden, fountain of life
Here in the garden, arcane delights
Are born from the womb

Down here the seed will rise
From dark earth to the light
To kiss the sun again

She brings me flowers
To ease the pain
She brings me light
Where only darkness reigns

And the more that I see
The more life means to me
And the way you love the wild earthen dream
She sings her song for you and me

I don’t care what lies beyond this world
All I really care about is you
For Mother Nature’s gifts of life have made
Have made this world a paradise for you and I

"Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, Not Hindu, Buddhist, Sufi, or Zen. Not any religion or cultural..."

Sun, 12 Feb 2012 22:27:24 +0100

“Not Christian or Jew or Muslim,
Not Hindu, Buddhist, Sufi, or Zen.
Not any religion or cultural system.

I am

Not from the East, or the West,
Not out of the ocean or up from the ground,
Not natural or ethereal,
Not composed of elements at all.

I do not exist

I am not an entity in this world or the next,
I did not descend from Adam and Eve,
or any origin story.

My place is the placeless,
A trace of the traceless,
Neither body or soul.

I belong to the beloved
I have seen the two worlds as one
And that one call to and know

First, last, outer, inner,
Only that breath breathing human being.”

- Sufi mystic - Jelaluddin Rumi - 13th century

[ Extraenvironmentalist Episode #35 // Ecology + Alcohol ]:

In Extraenvironmentalist #35 we speak with Stephen Harrod Buhner about his thoughts on the role of alcohol on humans and nature based around his book, Sacred and Herbal Healing Beers. We ask Stephen about the ecological role of humanity in the environment. Are Homo Sapiens like bees that serve a role much bigger than we’ll ever understand? Our conversation covers the ways ancient people experienced the world and alternative approaches to brewing beer. Once your hear Stephen explain the chemistry of plants, you’ll never think about that tree outside your window in the same way again.
