Sunny Smiles

 if you were here now,

too hot to work,

 we would sneak away to the seclusion of the stream, 

captive to the dancing shadows of the trees,

cut off from the sounds of the world

by the rush of the water

 breathe deeply the ozone 

 feel the cool on your skin,

 in front of you an endless emerald forest 

dancing with butterfly

 decorated with berries

time slips away 

life is magic

when we return

our feet are cold from water

our dresses wet from the frolic

our hearts filled with gratitude

to love the land

is to be loved by the land

as it should be

home is waiting

peace

My humility and gratitude for my land is great today, as we watch much loved land and people whither from afar.  Praying for relief for my brothers and sister suffering.

I have been silent for months now . . . reluctant to say the only thing left worth saying . . .

DO IT NOW - MAKE THE CHANGES -

 INITIATE THE PLAN 

if you don't you will look back at this moment with regret, 

why not look back on it with pride?

The world will not end when this generation does.  We do have the power to change the course of our lives.  We can focus on the realities of being alive rather than these collective illusions which keep us in bondage.
