It’s big
It’s ugly
I hate it
I love it
I’m free
O
Talk to me
Can’t you hear me
I can’t leave it
I’ll do anything for it
It’s so big
It’s filthy
It’s so sweet
I adore it
I’m staying
I’ll never leave
It’s in me
It’s so cruel
I hate it
I love it
It’s mine
I own it
It’s mine
Again and again
I say I hate war
I love it
It’s disgusting
It’s awesome
I love it
I won’t go
I promise
It’s beautiful
Talk to me
Can’t you hear
Me loving
O it’s so brutal
It’s so shit
Talk to me
What I should do
Anything
It’s marvellous
I’ll never stop
Loving it
Never never
Never never
Never.

The Messenger

My work is loving the world. 
Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird —
equal seekers of sweetness. 

Here the quickening yeast; there the blue plums. 
Here the clam deep in the speckled sand.

Are my boots old? Is my coat torn? 
Am I no longer young, and still not half-perfect? Let me 
keep my mind on what matters, 
which is my work,

which is mostly standing still and learning to be 
astonished. 
The phoebe, the delphinium. 
The sheep in the pasture, and the pasture. 
Which is mostly rejoicing, since all ingredients are here,

which is gratitude, to be given a mind and a heart 
and these body-clothes, 
a mouth with which to give shouts of joy 
to the moth and the wren, to the sleepy dug-up clam, 
telling them all, over and over, how it is 
that we live forever.

There is a language older by far and deeper than words. It is a language of bodies, of body on body, wind on snow, rain on trees, wave on stone. It is the language of dream, gesture, symbol, memory. We have forgotten this language. We do not even remember that it exists.

-Derrick Jensen

We are on the verge of destroying material life. One of the ways I think we can avert that is to recognize the profundity of material existence, to deeply respect our own process of knowing in the world, knowing with heart and mind and body and sensuality all at the same time.

-Susan Griffin in conversation with Derrick Jensen
