As we explore our theme of REconomy, we are trying to do so in a variety of media, film, blogs etc. To that, today, we add poetry. Drew Dellinger speaker, writer, poet, teacher, and author of Love Letter to the Milky Way, has kindly sent us a poem, entitled ‘re:vision’. Here’s how he introduces it:

“To me, this short poem evokes the multitude of changes needed as we Transition our society–from small and subtle perceptual shifts, to pervasive and profound new orientations–that the human community must undertake at the dawn of the Third Millennium. As we make these shifts, we can continue to trust in the deep wisdom, intelligence, and guidance of the unfolding Earth and the enveloping cosmos”.

**re:vision**

open your eyes.

see visions.

imagine a melody,

infinitely—

listen.

a planet of stories

with islands of silence,

her curved surface

radiates grace.

milky way blazing

in the sky above the city.

speaking in fractals,

the stars are telepathic

wake the poets.

wake the dreamers.

cultivate the tendrils

in the vineyard

of your heart

reorient our buildings to the solstice,

and from the center of the city,

see the stars.
