350

Jordan Comments are off

Continuing Stories from the Community week, we have a short set of offerings from Cathy Tuttle. Cathy is a tireless organizer of Sustainable Wallingford, “a wheelbarrow organization–holding and moving forward ideas bubbling in our community on how to live on one planet with grace and joy.” She wrote these poems for an event she is planning for 350.org:
OFFERING

The children are ready
They are already spinning
Arms outstretched
Right hand raised to the sun
They don’t need our advice
They need our love, our stories,
And our faith in their revolutions
PARDES

You know where to plant a garden
In the unused places in your mind
Where no one else goes
You planted seed
But forgot water
Paradise is waiting.

 OCEAN MEETS SKY FOR DRINK IN A SAND BAR

looking upside down at the waves
from here it seems
the water is trying with all its might to fall off the planet
leaping and straining and almost succeeding
until the sky guides it back to earth
