The Modern Play of Life

Sunset in the lake

Live gives
neither a promise to be good
nor a threat to be bad.
It merely puts us on the stage
(with but one exit)
provides beautiful decorations
and suggests our lines.
There are no repetitions.
The play is a tragedy
with a comic theme
where people
search for meaning
instead of unity.

She’s Outstanding

RedtigRocks6_6161

She stands out. She is outstanding.
Stretching, striving and reaching beyond the limitations of the prevailing conditions.
Her brazen color intensifies her provocative behavior.
The stones look on disapprovingly.
They whisper to the leaves and grass about traditions.
She isn’t trying to be outstanding.
She doesn’t mean to be provocative.
She merely follows the song of life within her
singing about the adventure of discovery.

The Mystery and the Magic

FallPath6_6162

A leaf-covered forest path in the shade of autumn sunshine awakens the magic of life’s mystery.
All the riddles laugh,
All the answers roar.
My feet play with the leaves.
My imagination soars.

The Planet is Not in Danger

AgellakeFall5_6125

The planet is not in danger.
It will change. It will adapt. It will survive.
Life will survive.
Humanity is in danger.
It might not survive the change.
The good news in that statement is the ’might’.
The even gooder news is that it depends on you.
You’ve just been chosen to play in the Species Survival Olympics.
You are part of humanity’s team.
The game will be played on Nature’s home court.
We don’t stand a chance if we don’t show respect.
The planet is not in danger.
We are.

Small Paths Bringing Us Together.

BoatPlant_5830

Are we really confined to a boat going nowhere?
Are we vegetation? Of course not.
We can take the small paths that lead to our desires
and see how they flow together with other paths
building a mighty river of peace,
freedom, beauty, truth, justice, trust, love,
respect, mercy, compassion, confidence,
health, knowledge and understanding.
This mighty river built of our common desires
cannot be stopped if we take the small paths
bringing us together
forming a river of our desires.
A mighty river of peace,
freedom, beauty, truth, justice, trust, love,
respect, mercy, compassion, confidence,
health, knowledge and understanding.
needs the strength and creativity of everyday people everywhere
in order to flow with force.
Small paths bringing us together.

Nature Gives

FrostFallFerns2_5940
Nature gives. It gives energy, nourishment, oxygen, colors, beauty and happiness.
It gives. It gives to those forms of nature that give in return.
To those forms that only take, it is forced to take in return.
It is fully capable of taking humanity.
