Listening to the tilt Spring fled before summer quickened life is simmering way too soon… harvest will fell the fields quickly, way before the mid of June… in traveling to, from the office of daily I have way too much time to listen to the wind and those sorrowful voices on church radio don’t really do me in, but I see all the while the swelling of choices… the farmers are in a dither, for rushing is summer’s call and weights and smell come into thought, for it’s all a drought if timing isn’t quite right for the fell…. ~*~ I cannot help but think in my please don’t rush home mode that ALL of the harvesting of the earth has quite upset the commode upon that which we still sit, shedding our commonalities and I think, “when, I wonder, will we suit our wild normality?” ~*~ Think of it…we borrow earth from the earth, and spread around its wealth; we harvest stone and spread its bone, wondering why the ground is spent. We dig holes, suck them dry gut but don’t refill them, though then we dig new ones to hide the refuse that we sincerely think will once again reside In some other yard, but not our own… will we never learn, no, we never learn…. we never, ever, yearn to learn…. we treat each new practice wrong. Some say “you might learn from history” I myself see through all of the past and mystery because it is so simply done, cursory… And I remember the 60’s smog, hidden in the climes of an off ocean’s fog and can glean that some changes passed to keep us all from being gassed, but still, the shift of the world from the weight of the world can come and I see us all, tilting an axis, slightly, that none will see the end, lightly. © krj 5-20-12 |

Dear Sunshine, this is why the LORD said for us to have faith and believe in Him. All of what we see and don't see is His. We have more than we can even imagine to look forward to. Look up dear lady, look up. (just remember to smile when you look up, we have unmanned drones overhead)...  JL  Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

Excellent work, dear Karilea! I love your ponderings and relate. We are here in these difficult times and we have our responsabilities no doubt, but we also have the power to love this world into change. Margherita  |

Like the saying goes “Charity begins at home” individual contributions towards nature conservation is far vital than what many governments put together can do. Fine writing this, Sunshine! "The secret behind survival of mankind is kindness and love within our hearts" |

No kidding. Well written Sunshine Girl. It's interesting that the Bible makes the statement That God will eventually bring to ruin those ruining the earth. Took insight and talent to write these verses but glad you did. Eric |

If we won't take care of Mother Earth, make no mistake, she will take care of herself. Thank you for reminding us, Karilea. Ida |
