Tomorrow gone
The world is silent
No sound is heard
But the everlasting wind
The roads are long
No easy going
Struggle in a daily grind
Going down
Is less exhausting
Time to look around
Nothing certain
Just two feet
That toneless hit the ground
Forget to breath
So overwhelming
Is the view
Was it like that
The whole time
Or is the feeling new
Where does it stop
Or will it go
Forever on
Is it the same tomorrow
Or is it all
Tomorrow gone

In the throb of atmosphere
a rumbling has begun in the home,
the sanctuary of family and air
for exhaling away an aching world,
it's pressing in too tightly now
without kindness or acquittal.
Echoing behind our anxious eyes,
a wobble of fear; over the sky, over the fierce hue of time,
no break, no dawn. A vicious flailing- kindness, hope
joy, laughter, sold for days, minutes, seconds more;
bartered for an nth of miserable anger.
Humankind anon will scrape its lust with
the common shroud of coldness- the children
and their laughter, their dance and their patter,
the moon and stars and intercourse,
all a whisper, one god-awful unspoken bereavement.
No more sunrises or sunsets seen through fist-split eyes.
No more joy and laughter.
Here every lawn is trimmed, groomed like a preacher’s beard.
Trees replaced by tool sheds, garden plots shrunken, dead.
Shiny green pools, television screens as life-sized as bloodshed.
Everything is lighting our path away from home,
Away from blue skies, hummingbirds, eagles, peace.
The grand soaring birds of our story, screaming and plummeting
through the rooftops of our unspoken dreams...
In the throb of our air, a rumbling.

Who ever said it's not easy "being green" never tried to create a green blog. It's easy being green, it's hard to define your purpose, place, and voice in the landscape of green media. Before taking on the role as online producer for Current's Green channel, I started a green blog. I thought long and hard about what I wanted to add to the conversation...was I going to point to the problems? The activists? Policy? Or have fun with DIY features? Or how about eco and environmental art? I ended up settling on highlighting stories about people who were coming up with solutions designed to address the environmental challenges of our time. (You'll probably never stumble upon it, and just after a few short weeks of creating it all my online eco time was gobbled up by Current Green.)
In honor of celebrating all of the people who write about the environment because they are just plain passionate about the topic, we wanted to take a few moments out and name just a few of the green bloggers who share information just because they want to. The list below includes bloggers who feel inspired to share information and inspiration on a variety of topics ranging from biofuels, green resources, how to live with out plastic, how to have a kick-ass garden even if you live in an apartment in NYC, green energy, green politics, you get the point, the list goes on and on. It was a treat to assemble this list, and I even included a quite few quality blogs that were recommended under the "undiscovered" category.
Thank you to all of the people who made suggestions via current/green, Twitter, Facebook, and even private emails (why so secretive??) Some people apologized for self promotion, but if this wasn't an invitation to promote yourself, I don't know what is!
Many thanks to everyone for your suggestions, and please feel free to add to the list!!
Just because we can...
a special shout out to the Current Green community members who run eco blogs:

"Water is our most precious resource. Yet it is currently under attack by our waste, pollution, privitization, and the exacerbation of climate change. We must be aware of this and work to preserve and conserve water for future generations. This will be our legacy to our children."

"1Eco is a friends, contacts, & favorites green team building site. Working team members are updated in every phase of our sustainable permaculture development model."

Here at The Fun Times Guide to Living Green we think that every little step counts. Some people might say that's green washing, but I say let them eat [organic] cake..."

No Impact Man
"The way I see it, waiting for the senators and the CEOs to change the way we treat the world is taking too long...
