The real trouble with the world… is that it is a complete and systematic sham, and he that follows it ends not by living but by pretending he is alive…
Ours is certainly a time for solitaries…but our world is different from theirs (The Desert Fathers). Our involvement in it is more complex. Our danger is far more desperate.

Toxic Clouds
Our cities under toxic clouds
Covers them like a blanket
Driven by love or lack - of dreams
Shape-change and drift but never leave
Spiritual crisis like a fog
Moves darkly through the streets
Desperation violence conflict fear
Poisoned air, nothing is clear
Deliver yourself into solitude
Find your desert inside
Quiet mind escape despair
Breathe in God’s air
