A Regenerative Flow of Morning Joe
A Regenerative Flow of Morning Joe
by Michael Doyle
If only a handful of people know,
It's hard to get a movement to grow.
But if the movement is in overflow,
We can be certain that it will grow.
There is something in a healthy attitude
That allows answers to grow in magnitude.
Capturing water as it falls from the skies
Allows desert to transform before our eyes.
Grasses transformed are pumps of regeneration
While cattle become a factor of veneration.
Columbia needs transformation, as most know.
Oftentimes, it comes down to that cup of Joe.
It can be seen from Colombian history,
Coffee may not create wealth, but it stops poverty.
Its rainforests were considered its thriving crown.
But in the name of coffee, this was cut down.
Intensified monoculture destroys biodiversity.
We see this in the pages of living history.
Inserting bananas and plantains brings needed shade.
The restoration of coffee and diversity comes ready-made.
Shade-grown coffee allows us to nurture
A plethora of hope for mankind's future.
All of this speaks to a healthy opportunity.
Regenerative coffee brings rich biodiversity.
Life in a good morning's cup of Joe;
It's a choice made to allow life to flow.
It's a battle for natural forest restoration.
Expanding habitat has revitalized the Colombian nation.

First Principles: A Declaration For This Purpose, I Expect, Will This Day Pass Congress…We Must Now Be A Free Independent State, Or A Conquered Country
“While General Howe with a Large Armament is advancing towards New York, our Congress resolved to Declare the United Colonies free and Independent States.

My Testimony
My Testimony
by Michael Doyle
Saving lives and broken chains.
His comfort came in the rains.
The passing storms help us grow.
My peace in Jesus is what I know.
Moments spent feeling overcome,
I put my faith in God's kingdom.
The wings might blow, making me shake,
But my foundation will never break.
Hallelujah will remain my testimony.
Keeping faith that the Lord loves me.
My hands lift in praise to the sky.
My voice is love in my reply.
Love is given in magnification
As we sing our songs in celebration.
We know all that the Lord has done.
We are believers in the Father and the Son.
Focus on the Father makes problems become small.
Sight on the Son, we become 10 feet tall.
In this fight, Satan knows defeat.
We live our faith with every morning that we meet.
Hallelujah will remain my testimony.
Keeping faith that the Lord loves me.
My hands lift in praise to the sky.
My voice is love in my reply.

Thought For the Day: Nature Is A Totally Efficient, Self-Regenerating System. If We Discover the Laws that Govern This System … Sustainability Will Follow
“Nature is a totally efficient, self-regenerating system. IF we discover the laws that govern this system and live synergistically within them, sustainability will follow, and humankind will be a success.” – R. Buckminster Fuller
First Principles: Without Morals A Republic Cannot Subsist Any Length of Time, They Therefore Who Are Decrying the Christian Religion…Are Undermining…the Best Security For the Duration of Free Governments
“Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure (and) which insures to the good eternal happiness, are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments.” – Charles Carrollton of Carrollton, signer of the Declaration of Independence
The Future We’ll Grow
The Future We'll Grow
by Michael Doyle
We've heard at the university
That monoculture destroys diversity.
While nature cultivates its legacy,
Working together against the plantation economy.
Chemical farming came disguised as evolution.
It was, in a sense, codified as the Green Revolution.
Throughout the world, like a horrific coin toss,
Everywhere we turn, we see diversity's loss.
In India, this resulted in soil depletion.
With carbon being released in a gasp of exhalation.
Nutrients have been lost along with fertility.
More and more is lost to the point of futility.
Burning to survive in a collapsed economy,
Debt and suicide have become quite legendary.
We counter this by making the soil healthy,
And this, in turn, creates our food security.
Working with our hands makes for a better living,
And through this, farmers are graced in their giving.
The more sequestered carbon yields more food.
The more food, the greater the elevated mood.
The path to healthy farming is one out of poverty.
Those with hands in the soil are being healthy.
Doing these things provides a warm explanation
Of just what it will take to revitalize the nation.
Soil, like so many things, isn't just property.
When looked at properly, good soil is a legacy.
It is to the extent of our best capability,
Our duty and is a most reverent responsibility.
