Sorrow Extended

Sorrow Extended

when we feel it in the heart
a sadness, a sense of loss
and the body responds
weighted with the dross

what is it we’re feeling
vibrations? emotions?
past life connections
or imaginative devotions?

can we release this
thru action, with music?
meditative pondering
or assistance called in?

who/what is the source?
what is the issue?
do we own this encumbrance
or does it simply exist?

to quiet the mind we can
engage in acts of kindness
get out in nature
listen to silence

let it go
let it go
then steep in the emptiness
for to slowly allow
a fresh start will be born

The Law of Independence

The Law of Independence

the hummingbird flies
lightly and free
in all directions
independently

don’t ask her to carry
a load that’s not hers
or be attached to by another
for a grounding then occurs

hummingbird’s freedom
requires one thing
simply
to resist any interference
that may hinder her ability to play

The Law of Independence 

freedom = maintaining independence w/o interference

Conscious Deployment

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
