The fundamental worth of the American Dream
was . . . and still is . . . the right to worship
freely -- or not -- according to personal
conscience and choice.

Some people go to a church to worship . . .
some go to mosques, cathedrals, synagogues
. . . some simply worship wherever they are
-- recognizing the body as a temple.

For some, this earth and everything in it
is a sanctuary for worship of life.

How can we honor our constitutionally
guaranteed right, and obligation to respect
that right -- for all to worship freely -- when we
systematically destroy the environ that has served
as a venerated place of worship for thousands of years?

All of us must answer for
our works in this world.

How can we justify desecration
of this temple of life
-- in any way --
for any reason?

<<>> << >> <<>>

Can we focus our lives to
mirror balance and integrity
at the core of existence
enduring and evolving
over billions of years

. . . manifest in these mountains --
in this ecosystem -- in tenuous equilibrium
delicately poised to support and sustain life

. . . impacting health -- the integral dynamic --
the whole body of life of which we are a part
-- without which we as individuals {and as
cultured groups} do not exist . . . ?

. . . One way or another . . . it all comes around . . .
