i want that shining pot of gold
beyond the mountaintop,
but since it’s raining out right now,
i’ll wait for it to stop.

may calm reflection
bring a new clarity to
our troubled waters

Lemming Effect
Early one morning,
Without any warning,
They rose from their beds
And got dressed eagerly.
They ran out the door
And met up at the shore,
And then, two by two,
They walked into the sea–
I hope reason finds
What was going thru their minds
As they went to their watery graves,
For nothing explains
Why their only remains
Are the red caps afloat on the waves.

half & half
the physical realm
and the spiritual plane
are one and the same
when we try to divide them
we end up with two half-truths

Nature’s Nature
Capricious Mother Nature
Adds a little bright red to
Her late-summer pastels.
Soon that won’t be enough;
She’ll get carried away
And paint all the forests
With the brightest colors
She has on her palette,
But when she steps back
To admire her painting,
She’ll come to her senses
And quickly erase it all.

stormy clouds above
racing their rivals below
locked in a dead heat

tall tales
children tell tall tales
to naive younger children–
and believe them too
the greatest storytellers
never lose that innocence

shot of the day 8/20/20
a river winds
through paradise,
its waters lined

Roddenberry Quote
I can’t think of a better time for a Roddenberry quote. As the genius behind Star Trek, he always had a positive spin on mankind’s future, something we could use right now.
It would have been his birthday today. I’m almost glad he’s not here to see how far we’ve strayed from his vision:
“If we cannot learn to actually enjoy our differences on this planet, then we do not deserve to go into space and meet the diversity that is almost certain out there.”
He believed we would.
