How Swiftly The Years

How Swiftly The Years

How swiftly the years fall into each other,

the past compressed underground

in layered deposits of Memories.

Some remain hidden, others found

of use, or not, as Life continues

circling ‘round Earth’s fleeting Ages,

years under water or under ground.

Life here is made of ‘Maya’ and Mystery.
Living within Life’s Mysteries…
… ever more Questions…
… more like…
… Light and Shadow…
We are Nature in Human forms.
…where this leads to…
Humanity is a Child with dangerous Toys.
… a faster, more efficient ‘evolution’…
Will we trust A. I. to enforce…
We may laugh but is it a joke?
… with gratitude and caution too…

Canada’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

I’m not an activist or influencer but even ordinary people like me can acknowledge this day in our own way. I think other nations could do well to adopt such a day also. I’m sharing an old poem and old pics of flowers I felt suitable to add.

This Earth

This Earth

This Earth, this Planet, this Orb

ever in motion through Space,

this Home away from Home

here in the Realms of Physicality,

this dance of Life through Grace,

how can we not see, understand

your Nature expressing Divinity-

Divine Skies, Sacred Waters, Holy Lands

everywhere, all that you are

being and becoming, this Earth.

You are a Great Wonder and I am in awe.
