Let us care for each other.
Let us care for this earth.

by kathleen


we stand in this ecology, in this gentle rain
breathe the flowers, and the piquant tang of eucalypts
magpies acapella through the afternoon
and at night a crystal voice cuts through the darkness
it is a wonder to be here, even amongst
the crowded chaos. but especially in the quiet spaces
the earth feels alive and hopeful.

Gorgeous. It linked me to the still, quiet center inside. I feel we have to come from that place to commune with the world.
