This is part of a poem "song for the homeless" that I read in the opening ceremony with TIm Redbird and Native American Dancers:
The theme of Earthquake is verjy active in my life now.
I am the crack in your foundation.
I'm the crack that can come up from underneath and break your house in two.
I am the crack.
Elevate me to righteous status.
Make holy ground where I am.
Be something beautiful in the crack.
Plan something beautiful that will grow in the crack.
Make a holy sound in the crack.
Make a holy sound to the crack.
Dance in the crack.
Dance the crack and I disappear.
May the crack crack wide open.
May the crack disappear.
May the last crack on earth disappear.
May I be the last crack on earth.

I read this with about 50 drummers in the first San Diego earth fare years ago.I

Oh patient Mother Earth,
let us walk together more closely.
My own fertile, flowering seed dreams
are your fulfillment and renewal.
Remind me that all natural things
on Earth grow from seeds that touch soil,
as do I. Open in me the wisdom
contained in a tiny seed
that I might experience
how my dreams grow naturally.
The Enchanted Garden,
a name for the new Earth
growing through me,
starts here and now!
“The reform work must be done in the schools.”—Alfred W. McCann
The Reform work must be done in the schools. Our children must be taught the meaning of depraved foods. They must learn how those foods are processed, bleached, colored, de-natured, de-germinated, de-mineralized, chemically treated. They must be taught the relationship of such food to sickness and death. They must be taught the relationship of natural food to health and life. The true conditions, now concealed from the public, must be exposed, in order that the public may make its own choice, guarded by a complete knowledge of facts. These facts are presented here in a manner understandable to the layman for the first time, and with the addition of the Catechism of Vital Questions and Answers, this work places before the people a full and complete exposure of the evil conditions, which unmolested, now menace the health and life of America.”
–From the Preface by Alfred Watterman McCann of “Starving America.” (1916)
Romain Rolland Forming the New Ground Your enchanted Gardener.
"Let us seek truth everywhere;
let us cull it wherever we can find its blossom
or its SEED. Having Found the seed,
let us scatter it to the winds of heaven.
Where ever it may blow, it will germinate.
There is no lack in this wide universe of souls
that will form the new ground."

Quote from Edmond Bordeaux Szekely
Adapt or Non-exist
Adapt or Non-exist, says Edmond Bordeaux Szekel
“Our adaptation to the natural forces
is a question of existence or non-existence.
We cannot transform the universe or nature so that they
adapt themselves to us; on the contrary, we must adapt ourselves
to nature and her laws.”
-Edmond Bordeaux Szekely.

"This is the true myth of America. she starts old,
old wrinkled and writhing in an old skin. And there is
a gradual sloughing off of the old skin,
towards a new youth. It is the myth of America."
--D.H. Lawrence, Studies in Classical American Literature
"I AM YOUR MOTHER EARTH
YOU ARE MY PRIDE AND JOY.
I am the sparkle that was in your father's eye
when your mother first looked into his eye
and they made you from my substance.
I had something in Minds when I inspired your mother
and father to touch each other.
I am your Mother Earth.
I made you to speak for me.
I made you to speak for me now.
I made you to know this earth as your home.
--Mother Earth
