a 'Universalist' !

     Random ‘Beliefs’

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 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 what lies hidden
in the towering darkness
between galaxies…

the cosmos shall unfold
to a gentle, unchecked
  spirit
and calm, resolute mind!

It's a joy to read your philosophical thoughts... there is something to ponder!

ponder what lies hidden
in the towering darkness
between galaxies…

the cosmos shall unfold
to a gentle, unchecked
  spirit
and calm, resolute mind!


I believe this too, but we are too much entangled in our "important" lives and everyday problems to reach the ability to see and listen to the depth of cosmos.

Very significant write, dear Bruce!

Love,
Margherita

To highlight my favorite lines would mean re-copying this in its entirety.
You present the essence of 'universality' perfectly in this write, Bruce.

The constant quotation marks almost gave me a slight sense of sarcasm...is this the case?

And if so, why?

Just curious...

Thank you
