Poetry to Inspire You
New Light
noticing a brilliance
an intensity of beauty
this spring feels so different
or is it how we now see?
sun illuminates morning oceans
to look just like mercury
contrasting greens of the forest
feel so newly alive
where can we experience
the changes arriving
any better than in nature
as we blend in and be?

Conscious Deployment
are we willing to accept this state of affairs?
NO!
is there a solution to this imbalance and pollution?
YES!
we have learned thru the ages
to listen to our scientists and sages
let us gather their wisdom and knowledge
and first ask the questions
we have been told we are close
to that point of no return
for our planet to continue to support life
what are the issues that are causing strife?
that struggle for survival?
air
levels of oxygen, CO2, toxic pollution, smoke, air pressure and turbulence
water
levels of oxygen, temperature, pollution, flooding, drought, erosion of glaciers, water levels
fire
drought, humidity, wind, loss of water sources, loss of species/biodiversity
earth
fracking, earthquakes, mining pollution, erosion, deforestation
and so on…
population imbalances, nuclear disasters, extinction of species, habitat destruction, weather extremes, waste…
can we continue to ignore all that has not been common before?
or do we wait until it impacts our own personal lives and communities?
let us be the solution
let us embody the whole
let us take action
may peace be our goal
with conscious deployment of all that we know
let us be the collaborative collective
and pay the debts that we owe
we created this dilemma
let us now resolve
to be the creative antidote
so we may continue to evolve

The Meaning of Life
You are invited to participate
and in your language articulate
the meaning of life…
The pleasure is ours
A significant question…
On Earth, you take so much for granted. The joy of a new birth. The sheltering. The nourishment. And on it goes. This is the life cycle of all in your biosphere. Every chipmunk. Every dog. Every tree. All life you see. Cycling on. So many are intent on getting ahead. Accumulating material wealth. Competing for the best. And what of the rest? Quagmired in eternal poverty, be it location, societal pressures, health – many, many have not a chance for survival. Survival. Now the question…the meaning of life. Do not humans consider themselves to be at the peak of the animal kingdom? And are they not ignoring the very basics of survival? Survival of a species. One species cannot survive if it has upset the balance of inter-relationships of the many. The meaning of life is all about opportunity. Life is the opportunity to grow, to adapt, to learn, to support other life. Opportunity to procreate, to co-create, to orchestrate the beauty of life, of love. An opportunity to harmonize with all. Blessed be.
How do YOU define the meaning of life?
