Celebrating 'Universalism'
  and Human Diversity!

Walk a deep-forest path
where only shadows follow,
tumbling along with our
    dreams.
Listen for the ‘voice’ of
each changing season.
Taste a cool-bright
moonlit Autumn night.
Dwell upon the world
   suspended,
in a single drop of gentle
   Spring morning dew
and the astonishing artistry of
each fleeting flake of Winter snow.
Contemplate the sea and Summer
sky of infinite depth and motion.
Let your mind range far and wide
with the ever-rolling clouds and
    years ...
Then try to defend all small,
dark egregious thoughts
that human ‘differences’
could ever truly matter
in any vain attempt to justify
war and the pain and death
  of helpless innocents.

                --- b. e. adams

Beautifully said Bruce and your close to your fine poetry is quite profound and speaks loudly for the way many of us feel.

Very well done.

Loving Linny Jean is poetry.

I couldn't say it better myself, and I have tried.
