***** "Gaia Earth City." Before Cancer took her, Dave's Sister's vision, for us
Published on Mar 15, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hHqs2poZVI
This is a short epic poem written
over many years by my late sister, Charlotte Warren. Its main theme was
inspired by a becoming sense of human progress through Conscious
Evolution and an embrace of the long dis-remembered Gaia Force. Gaia
being the Ancient Greek Goddess or "Mother of All."
It speaks of an awakening that is beginning to break in small monastic enclaves around the world but strives to connect the bio- networking meme of the human with the greater web of the living organism- Earth itself. The poem taps into the basic survival imperatives by citing the deeper forces that created Earth and the random cosmic events that balanced just so to create not only the rare phenomena of life but the gifted niche of human life itself.
It tracks in epic verse the rise of civilizations from our deep hunting/ gathering past through the revolution in Agriculture and the beginning of the first city/states and continues the human odyssey to the present day where human progress and its excesses may now threaten this very fragile balance for all "Gaians."
The poem at first reading appears to be an ethereal appeal to some Platonic ideal but it is far more practical than this in that its asks of an accounting of the development of human progress as a binary of both life affirming and destroying forces as a metaphor for Darwinian adaptation. The splitting of the atom,for example, as an adaptation, both advances the self interested agendas of nations who hold this force in the form of weapons but also threatens the greater balance of an inter-connected world in the fragile web of life. A further example would be the fossil fuel driven industrial economies that have propelled exponential growth in world population and species survival odds but now threatens the very balance of Earth's biosphere and of our place in the fragile balance of things. Charlotte's poem compels a new vision of Conscious Evolution that encourages an adaptive "Whole Earth" awareness based on the concept of collective empathy and cooperation as key to our very survival.
It ends with the Greek word for love "agape mou Gaia", meaning the Love of Mother Earth.

Start -- You've already said you're standing with the President on his plan to reduce gun violence. So, let's talk next steps. On Tuesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 10 to 8 -- straight down party lines -- to move universal background check legislation forward. When this bill comes up for consideration, the full Senate will have a chance to help reduce gun violence and keep dangerous weapons out of the wrong hands. But if Tuesday's partisan vote showed us anything, it's that we've got a fight ahead of us. In spite of the fact that universal background checks are supported by 92 percent of Americans, 84 percent of Republicans -- and 74 percent of NRA members -- not a single Republican on the committee voted for this bill. And we know why: There are a lot of special interests in Washington spending millions to gum up the works and stop all gun reform, even common-sense legislation like background checks. We can't let their money drown out the voices of the 92 percent, or the families who've been tragically affected by gun violence -- from Newtown to Aurora to Virginia Tech. It's time to get louder. There are two easy things you can do today to help keep the momentum going. First, sign up to host a letter-writing party in your neighborhood. Simply put, people -- especially members of Congress -- read letters to the editor. In just 300 words or so, your letter can be the voice for this effort in your community -- even if all you say is that this matters, and we need to pay attention. All you have to do is get a few friends together and talk about the issue at hand. Then sit down and put pen to paper (or fingers to a keyboard.) Sign up to host your event today, and we'll follow up with some resources, talking points, and tips for getting your letter published: http://my.barackobama.com/Host-a-Letter-Writing-Party There's a second simple thing you can do right now to show visible support for universal background checks. Download this sign (PDF) and put it somewhere folks will see it -- in your window, on your desk, or maybe upload it as your Facebook profile picture. If we do our jobs right, Congress won't be able to ignore the clear and overwhelming majority of Americans who support expanding universal background checks. They'll have to listen to the people they were elected to represent. This won't be easy, but if we can pass some common-sense reforms to help save even one life, it will be worth it. Thanks, Jon Jon Carson Executive Director Organizing for Action ---------------- Let's finish what we started. Chip in $75 or more to Organizing for Action, the grassroots movement that will get the job done. |
