Gary Lindorff is a poet, writer, blogger and author of several books, the latest: 13 Seeds: Health, Karma and Initiation. Over the last few years he has begun calling himself an activist poet, channeling his activism through poetic voice. He also writes with other voices in other poetic styles: ecstatic, experimental and performance.
He is a practicing Transformational Counselor (with a strong, seasoned Jungian background) and a shamanic practitioner. His shamanic work is continually deepening his partnership with the land. This work can assume many forms, solo and communal, among them: prayer, vision questing, ritual sweating, and sharing stories by the fire.

A large insect lands on my face / It is a moth / It covers my face / Like a covid-mask

Listening to Brian Eno's "New Space Music" /
Wasn't my first choice /
But Harold Budd's "The Plateau of Mirror" / wouldn't play for me

"Poetry gets me high / But the zeitgeist's higher / It's a wall of water / A three hundred year high towering / Over a life of denial. . ."

This is a poem to honor Harold Budd. In this style of poem every line is a sentence, so every line is a thought.

This poem will not mean the same thing to any two people, but whether that is true or not we will never know.
SHARE Wednesday, December 2, 2020 Lake of memory
This is a poem about how following a stream was like following a thread to a whole seamless world of memory that was all about a lake.
SHARE Monday, November 23, 2020 Open Covid letter from a white middle class guy whose luck of birth has run out but that's OK
This started out as a letter to the family but it can also be addressed to the larger family. It's hard to get a grip on what we are facing but I it's fair to say that there is finally a light at the end of the tunnel, albeit (pardon the mixed metaphors) first we have a gale to sail through.
SHARE Friday, November 20, 2020 That's a good question and brief reflection
Next time it's our overuse of "multiple" but right now we've got to question our overuse of "that's a good question". It's gotten way, way out of hand.

With Trump almost out of the way, we are on the cusp of joining the rest of the world in mitigating Climate Change. May we succeed.
SHARE Friday, November 13, 2020 Dream incubation
Dream incubation is not so much about programming our dreams to resolve issues for us, but to seek out how the wisdom of the unconscious or our deeper Self might perceive the issue we wish to resolve.
SHARE Thursday, November 12, 2020 The little fool
One poet, Michael Torres, describes some poems he didn't write (or is it images he didn't turn into poems?), as a lost dog that unexpectedly finds its way home. That describes how this poem wrote itself.

Dolphin's brains are as complex as, or even more convoluted than, human brains and they are far better communicators than we are (among themselves), so why do they beach?

Existential dilemma. Mask or no mask? We know the answer but there are other questions that distort the answer. A quintessentially American loop of parochial logic.
