     Random Thoughts
   (embracing change
     the one certain
       certainty)

walk the solitary path
and you shall ‘meet’
  everyone…

consider each day
a separate ‘life’…

struggle not...in the
terrible grasp of brevity,
for contentment follows
from embracing the
  incomplete …

temporality and flux are
the true essence of ‘being’

we are but tangled grass
to the will and ever-shifting
winds of ‘Deep-Time’

by perceiving ourselves
as appendages of Gaia…
perhaps we shall accept
‘stewardship’ for her
  totality

ponder that which might lie
hidden in the towering darkness
between galaxies…

the conscious 'oneness' of all
that is this grand-infinite cosmos
shall unfold in its own good time to
the gentle, unchecked spirit-heart
and calm, resolute mind!

You have pretty much nailed life's journey is, or rather ought to be. I really enjoyed your reaching out to the totality of us and mother earth. Stunning work here, Bruce. This . . .

puts a well-deserved "cap" on your fine poem.
