Flywheels of Interdependence: A Poetry Experience (233 pages)
Flywheels are heavy cylinders floating on friction-free magnetic bearings that spin up to store energy and spin down to release it. They are used commercially to accelerate high-performance racing vehicles and to store solar and wind power when it's not needed. Flywheels provide a non-polluting alternative to chemical batteries, geared to communicate energy.
These interdependent poems honor the beauty and wonder of nature while promoting spiritual liberation through love and community service. Flywheels is inspired by the writing of John Muir, Mary Oliver, Diane diPrima, Joy Harjo and others.
You'll hear poems about friends separated by war, epic tales of ancient Ireland, practical healing through Ayurveda, a tribute to the imperfect Wu Wei, creation tales of Ginnungap and the Maori Te Kore, mysterious mythological beings, Bon buddhist folklore, algorithmic rebellion, quantum entanglement, cosmological science and the great joy of working together.
Flywheels is a finely-crafted work of love, celebrating what's human in an age of technology. Mother Nature is calling us back. Heed her plea. We grow when we plant seeds of interdependence and water them daily with freedom. Find a soft place to rest your head and listen to these songs of peace. Your joy is a superconductor.
