#9: Correspondence Con La Pachamama
Election is the order and obsession of the days to come. An election of consequence like no other we have known. And yet it pales in the light of a greater consequence looming on the near horizon, begging a forthright conversation—ahora mismo, now—con la Madre Planetaria…La ubicua Pachamama. Home.

#8: Mid-July, 2020. The United States of America.
A reckoning is upon us. The human presence is being called to task. The planet is demanding that our species begin to tell a different story, to work for the practice of a better real—a telling of change in the human narrative, back to a truer state of human nature characterized by love,...

#7: Mancave
An Independence Day kind of podcast, in the spirit of the current spirit of shedding light on painful truths too long relegated to the shadows pitched by the walls and guns and egos, and the sickness of the Settler Class across the human spectrum. A short chapter late in a writing in the works,...

#6: Far Away So Close
"Mama used to say that music was the essence of the human soul, and the only true religion. Not just the music that comes out of saxophones and trumpets and vocal chords, but MUSIC—the rhythm of being, of knowing and not knowing, of trying and growing and sharing. The rhythm, she would say, of…

#5: What Do We Do?
Five poems: loss, discovery, reality, interruption and the yearning for a second sight. This is life affected by the peopled spectrum. This is love and loss, trust and security. This is history and context, the layered sheets of balance and placement, of living systems adapting and evolving,...

#4: A Tide That Binds
Thinking about love, and the opposite of social distance: social cohesion. Thinking about kindness, compassion and connectedness. How do we speak and reach for each other in the tumult of disorientation? How do we muster the courage to step outside ourselves and find our common ground when the...

#3.5: Earth Day offering
A little Earth Day offering squeezed between episodes 3 and 4. Wandering back to the theme I'd begun in episode 1, for the youth among us: Chapter Two of this (notebook? letter? message?) in the works, for whatever it might be worth..."The Climate of Our Changing...Grace".

#3: Falling Down Stairs
A story today from a childhood memory of falling down, and being lifted in the presence of a loving smile. Four years old, scissors in hand, cowboy boots slipping on the top stair to the basement... The pain mi madre must have felt on seeing me at the end my fall; the guilt, the fear, the...

#2: Preaching to the Choir, Singing to the All
For those who sing in any choir—especially the kind that would try to muffle this tune or otherwise drown it out—may this somehow strive to be a song of solidarity, or at least a call to re-investigate the basics… Nothing new here; just the tolling of an old familiar human signal.

#1: The Climate of Our Changing...Grace
Episode #1 of the Spoken Sound. Bear with me on this. It may seem a little long, but these words are for the youth among us, crying for colonial humanity to hit the breaks on its runaway train of progress. From a place of middle-age, it's a pause, of sorts, to look and listen and let you know…
