I've told the Creator this many times, and I say it again now - "Father, if you will avert Ecocide, if you will save my western brothers and sisters from their Affloholic, walking-Dead-selfishness (including the selfishness of selfishly worrying about their own salvation), I WILL GLADLY SPEND A TRILLION ETERNITIES IN WHATEVER HELL-FIRE YOU'VE GOT. I'd take that deal in a Heartbeat. In a Heartbeat. Loving"

***** "Gaia Earth City." Before Cancer took her, Dave's Sister's vision, for us
Published on Mar 15, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hHqs2poZVI
This is a short epic poem written
over many years by my late sister, Charlotte Warren. Its main theme was
inspired by a becoming sense of human progress through Conscious
Evolution and an embrace of the long dis-remembered Gaia Force. Gaia
being the Ancient Greek Goddess or "Mother of All."
It speaks of an awakening that is beginning to break in small monastic enclaves around the world but strives to connect the bio- networking meme of the human with the greater web of the living organism- Earth itself. The poem taps into the basic survival imperatives by citing the deeper forces that created Earth and the random cosmic events that balanced just so to create not only the rare phenomena of life but the gifted niche of human life itself.
It tracks in epic verse the rise of civilizations from our deep hunting/ gathering past through the revolution in Agriculture and the beginning of the first city/states and continues the human odyssey to the present day where human progress and its excesses may now threaten this very fragile balance for all "Gaians."
The poem at first reading appears to be an ethereal appeal to some Platonic ideal but it is far more practical than this in that its asks of an accounting of the development of human progress as a binary of both life affirming and destroying forces as a metaphor for Darwinian adaptation. The splitting of the atom,for example, as an adaptation, both advances the self interested agendas of nations who hold this force in the form of weapons but also threatens the greater balance of an inter-connected world in the fragile web of life. A further example would be the fossil fuel driven industrial economies that have propelled exponential growth in world population and species survival odds but now threatens the very balance of Earth's biosphere and of our place in the fragile balance of things. Charlotte's poem compels a new vision of Conscious Evolution that encourages an adaptive "Whole Earth" awareness based on the concept of collective empathy and cooperation as key to our very survival.
It ends with the Greek word for love "agape mou Gaia", meaning the Love of Mother Earth.
