May Day

May Day
in Nature terms
is Beltane:
Halfway from the spring Equinox
to the Summer Solstice

May Day
in playful
celebratory Europe terms
is the time to dance around the
May Pole

May Day
in working class
rise up
and throw off your chains
terms
is the day
of proclaiming solidarity
with the workers of the world

And finally
May Day
is now the day
for the Immigrant Rights
folk
to bring their cause
to the public
to march and mark
the wonderful and vital
contribution
of these people
to our lives.

So,
lots of good things on
May Day.


and May Day
in my terms:
ah, heck:
time to take a walk
and breathe in the fresh air
and get away from the computer
and things under a ceiling 8 feet high
and get out to the ceiling 5 miles high

nature,
liberation,
solidarity

and waking back
up to how
wonderful
life is
when I do The Work
and
come to the Present
and
get back into Nature

Picture above is the Flannel Bush
Fremontidendron
a native to Southern California

and one of the plants I put
in at the Sonoma Garden Park
