   Random Thoughts
(on embracing change
    as the only '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 Nature's
  totality

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

and know that you are an
important, integral part
of this evolving universe ...

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!

missed your soothing words poet, so glad to see this here!

"..we are but tangled grass
to the will and ever-shifting
winds of ‘Deep-Time’.."
~a jewel of thought, love it!

Gaia would smile on this, I just know!
be well

And I cannot, cannot go.."

Absolutely we are the change and the mainstay of life itself, which, to me, these two lines captures it completely, Bruce . . .
