Celebrating 'Universalism'
       and Diversity!

Walk a deep-forest path
where only shadows follow,
tumbling along with our
   dreams.
Listen for the ‘voice’ of the
   changing seasons.
Taste a cool-bright
moonlit Autumn night.
Dwell upon the world
   suspended,
in a single drop of dew...
or the astonishing artistry
of a fleeting flake of snow.
Contemplate a sea and sky
   of infinite motion.
Let your mind range
far and wide with the
   ever-rolling clouds.
Then try to defend...
the small egregious thought
that humanities ‘differences’
could ever really matter
in any negative way!

This magnificent poem reminds me of a photograph I once saw of an astonishing red leaf -- the entire universe represented in it. Beautifully written and greatly enjoyed!

As always a treat! Your words are totally after my heart.
And "differences" are enriching, they should bring us closer, rather than separate us.

Love,
