about

I guess something that threatens to end consciousness on this planet, or at least human civilization, is worth two songs on the same album. A lot of the info in this song came out of the Beyond War Foundation, later called Foundation for Global Community. I worked with those fine folks for quite a few years. Their work led to the next step in evolution as described in the work of Eckhart Tolle, his book, A New Earth, especially.

lyrics

In the quiet of Saturday morning, patches of sun shadows of leaves
I look over the coastline

the land drops behind the sea the seagull soon turns back
the porpoise sings beside the bow we sail for Crete
I know that pettiness can engulf me in a flash
I know about the kindness I know about the trash

never better advice was ever better given to we
Socrates told us kindly friends don't be dismayed
what could be important when you're laid in the grave

chorus:
the Appalachicola River flows into the gulf
the Appalachicola River flows into the sea

2.
in the quiet of anyday's minute blackness of smoke brightness of fire
I look over the skyline

millions dead in that first flash millions more soon follow
winter whether march or june lung and air turned ash
it's clear that we will perish if we don't come to see
one splitting of one atom made war obsolete

never better advice was ever better given to we
Einstein told us kindly friends we have got to change
we are drifting madly toward annihilation - chorus

3.
in the quiet of everyday's minutes electron-photon harmony
I look over the coastline
an envelope of sustenance Mother biosphere
the elements of chemistry cosmos mystery
the turning of the seasons and the beating of a heart
a rich and gentle mantle a deep substantial part

never better advice was ever better given to we
the momentum of our history is pointing to the dream
there is nothing guaranteed we must intervene - chorus
