Password to Death

Password to Death
the password to death is giving up
and sometimes its a gentle surrender up
there is a resistance to discuss or write about death
yet its eminence is as near as our last breath
if a plant starts to whither and to wilt
its life is nurtured by attention, not by guilt
we sit in a room, aware it’s full of belongings
do the plants and the books also not have longings?
the attention we give to all with which we live
nurtures a relationship and the importance of to give
to live a full life with no regrets
is a life full of love and what love begets
to simply be noticed and appreciated as is
gives a sense of belonging and that ’tis
the gift of the living, to love and be loved
to appreciate the beauty and the connections thereof
splendid is life, let us live it as though
every opportunity to love gifts an opportunity to sow
the gift of receiving and the feeling of being seen
so that all who meet death
will understand what life
what their life
did mean

Apples and Oranges

Apples and Oranges

the fruits of our labours
diverse in form
bring forth the beauty
of uniqueness that’s born

although very different
colour, shape and size
all have their gifts
beauty’s enterprize

delivering their flavours
and the seeds of the future
colourful textures and their juices
are life giving boosters

some stand alone
all can be mixed
inviting creation
of a fruit salad that depicts

a blending, a collaborative
each enhancing another
creating much more
for the unique new mix lover

and where are they found
these fruits of creation?
locations as diverse as
their flavourful orchestration

the apples so sweet
come from the temperate zone
the oranges, heat loving
in the warm zones they’re grown

times are a changing
micro climates can be created
new types can be grown
new locations populated

apples, oranges and others
don’t need to be compared
their beauty is unique
and enhanced when it’s shared

Let Us Play

Let Us Play

a new concept, a new desire
let us play with this
what will it inspire?

we have declared the focus
a conscious business declaration
we are mindful of the potential
powerful oneness, no separation

a sequencing to explore
we have been here before
but never with such clarity
and all present in true parity

let us present each our gifts
and ensphere a dilemma with “ifs”
if we did this? if we did that?
sharing our perspectives
from wherever we sat

let us share our uniqueness
empowering and host
a group’s virtual solution
to a current crisis that’s most

most representative of the present
most fearful to many
most easily identified with
can we recognize any?

and once one is selected
let us play with it, examine it
from every perspective, share and explore
until it becomes a virtual reality and more
what is the problem?
what is the cause?
what is the outcome?
can we put it on pause?

who is responsible?
who is affected?
what are the solutions?
what is the directive?
what is the culture?
what are the levels?
if the pond is rippling
who threw the pebble?

flying above, the view of the Eagle
feeling below, Earth’s changing life’s sequel
seen from all sides, all dimensions thru time
what are we looking at and to what can we align?

to align with our declaration:

The Conscious Business Declaration
A New Standard for Business in the 21st Century

As a global community of business leaders we are committed to developing the awareness and skills needed to consciously evolve our organizations in alignment with these principles:

1  We Are One with humanity and all of life.  Business and all institutions of the human community are integral parts of a single reality — interrelated, interconnected and interdependent.
2  In line with this reality, the purpose of Business is to increase economic prosperity while contributing to a healthy environment and improving human wellbeing.
3  Business must go beyond sustainability and the philosophy of “do no harm” to restoring the self-renewing integrity of the Earth.
4  Business must operate with economic, social, and ecological transparency.
5  Business must behave as a positive and proactive member of the local and global communities in which it operates.
6  Business that sees, honours, and celebrates the essential interconnected nature of all human beings and all life maximizes human potential and helps create a world that works for all.
7  When aligned with Oneness, Business is the most powerful engine on Earth for creating prosperity and flourishing for all.

let us play from this place of alignment
who is willing to accept this curious assignment?
a challenge of sorts, a game of creation
from simplicity to complexity
from stillness to acceleration
let us play with this
and come into relation
with all that is
and can be
the potentiality inspired
past ways retired
let us play
