the gift...

 love never claims -

it ever gives

 

only through love...

For small creatures such as we 

the vastness is bearable only through 

love.

because 

we control the mind. 

Reality

dreamers of the dream...

we are the music makers

and we are the 

dreamers of the dream - 

wandering by lone sea breakers 

and sitting by desolate streams.....

for whom the pale moon gleams.....

we hold it in our hands...

We are curators of all life on this planet. 

We hold it in our hands.

it is up to us...

Our planet is a lonely speck

in the great enveloping cosmic dark.

In our obscurity

-- in all this vastness --

there is no hint

that help will come

from elsewhere to

save us from ourselves.

It is up to us.

the you of the ocean...

You're not a wave,

you're a part

of the ocean.

the ancients know...

As the ancient myth makers knew, 

we are children equally 

of the earth and the sky.

the freeing of ourSELVES...

Our task must be to 

free ourselves by 

widening our 

circle of compassion 

to embrace 

all living creatures 

and the 

whole of nature 

and 

its beauty.

confessing and retracing...

I claim 

to be 

a simple

individual

liable 
to err 

like any 
other fellow mortal. 

I own, 

however, 

that 

I have 

humility 

enough 

to confess 

my errors 

and to

retrace 

my 

steps.
