"We have to be Fluid,
Moving...
Lifting...
Embracing
One another....
We have to love out Loud..
with our hands and eyes and voices...
We have to be the Movement towards a better world...
We have to just do it....
Love is a verb...."

Little Madison Campbell Butler colored this page from The Peace Love and Understanding Coloring Book... and in doing so, she painted the world as One. All of us. One human kind existing together.... all colors, all genders, all orientations, religions, ethnicities and ages....

We parked under the humming halo light,
the sound of electricity, a thousand mosquitos strong...
and parked her there,
facing the night~time road
while we wandered like hippies do....
And when we returned,
a love note was tucked under the wipers,
not signed,
but sent with peace and love....
Just like hippies do....

Raw Peace....
© Singleton
"She peeked out,just barely,over the river's edge.Stretched her lazy pink pajama~ed armshigh up into the skyand sighed...
The new day....
The Promise...
And for just a moment,before the rickety rattle battleof voicesand trafficand chaos begins...
She's untouched.Raw...Perfect....."

Road Trippin'....
"Together we make Sunshine,
whisk it into giant clouds of weightless glitter
and spin it into tinseled yarn....
And then like little old Pixies,
we drape it everywhere we go....
wrap it around Elderly trees,
sprinkle it on broken sidewalks,
tie it into giant tassels and pin it on
the handle bars of rickety rusty old bicycles...
We're spreading joy....

Peace is a Living Word...
Singleton Hippie Art
"We all knelt down, knees and toes on the soft brown earth... electric blue skies warming us, blanketing us in peace....
...
And we began to dig, to softly till the dirt, to scatter wild seeds of love where footprints once were..
And we quietly watched as our Garden grew... Peace is a living word....."

Embrace the little things....
Singleton Hippie Art
We go through life,
running...
sometimes plowing, leaping, diving forward...
Wishing for moments not yet born...
And yet it is now...
And only now...
that matters for today, this moment, and all the tomorrows to come...

Their voices are woven into and out of the Art...

I see her everywhere...
on the tea stained wings of fallen butterflies...
in the empty clam shells on the shoreline, houses long abandoned...
in the bath powder clouds patted across the skies...
I hear her
in the music of old bamboo chimes, telling stories in the wind...
on the scratchy vinyl spinning in our living room,

I was,
swishing, pushing,
trying to hold my breath long enough
to rise up again,
to swim up...
when I found Peace at
the sandy bottom....
where all the dreams are tossed
to sink,
abandoned,
traded for another day...
And there in the dark...
I heard you...
barely making a splash...
diving
deeper,
hoping to find your own answers...singletonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03482545214687731218noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23781829.post-82275067642462136142015-05-20T06:22:00.001-04:002015-05-23T10:34:47.574-04:00Just Give Me Peace takes to the Streets....

I watched your fingers...palms...
dancing,
falling,
catching themselves again in a tribal dance of weightlessness....
drumming....
Your blue eyes,
endless tidal pools,
swirling in the warm waters of new and old....
clashing,
crashing,
splashing together...
And listened to your spirit,
singing in a thousand tongues...

"The night fell off her shoulders,
a silky vintage nightgown
slipping to the floor,
sliding down the banks into the blue river...
And he embraced her.
Ran his fingers across her lips,
and began to drum quietly on her flesh,
to paint her with the rhythm of
his dreams...
to lift her up....
to watch her
Dance....

to dream
