Well the story it told me ? Once upon a time there were two twisted cans that were all bent out of shape with the way the world was going. They drugged themselves silly with synthetics( see list outside can), listened only to heavy metal music, decided to hang around trash and could never revigorate and recycle back into life, since nobody bothered to help them out and put them in the right place. There were others in similar situation who lay around the park. Mr ?Screwed up Plastic? hated heavy metal, walked upside down on his cap and could not open up to anybody. He felt emptiness in the way his life had evolved and was hoping to start anew. One day a man walking a dog thought to himself. ? I could make a difference in somebody?s life! ? He picked up the out of shape and out of mind empty products of our culture and put them in their place ? a recycling trash can. It was a dark and smelly place and the three were quite unhappy. The man shouted down the hutch ? ?One day you will be whole and fulfilled again! Trust me?. And then the police descended and took the man and his dog away because they found him speaking to a trash bin. The lesson? ? It is mind over (recycling) matter ? about the the cans and canknots ,- and lastly ? recycle but do not speak to the trashcan.

FROM ZERO to WHOLESOMENESS ON THE WAVES OF TIME? a poemFrom nothing to wholesomenessAnd then to nothing again
From zero to all the numbers
From the empty womb to new life
From the round seed to the wholesome tree
And then to recede And then to seed again
And we cycle and cycle .. and cycle
With repeated spiraling of bonded zeroes till eternity
While time moves on its unstoppable wheels
And we are given a present to be present in the present
To understand the holy void and holy wholesomenessJULY 27 2016

Waste does not exist in nature because ecosystems reuse everything that grows in a never-ending cycle of efficiency and purpose.

SAID THE LEAF TO THE WATER DROPLETS ..
?When I was young and full of life,
You gave me life itself and I could absorb you into my body.
We were like one.
Now I am old and dying on the sidewalk
And all I can do is enjoy your beauty on my dry body
And sadly we will have to go separate ways!
I pray that we can meet with renewed miracle of life
When we are recycled by the heavens?

We forget that the water cycle and the life cycle are one.

ABOUT TO FALL
A leaf and a water drop have a conversation
With both in a precarious position on the branch of a tree
Leaf ? ?I do not want to fall?
Raindrop ? ?Its our time
Gravity will return us to the earth?
Leaf ? ?Gravity sucks?
I just want to be green again?
Raindrop ?To recycle is to be green?
Leaf ? ?Too profound for me!
My be-leaf is that life is too short to worry about gravity.
Please God Fly me to the moon.
I do not want to fall?
