If you look into the pond, you’ll see
The sky reflected,
The white clouds,
The world drenched in the beauty
Of clear water
On firm ground.
But if you’ll turn your head
From pond-life
And look around
And up
Onto the land and sky,
You will see the real world
In its worry,
In its glory,
So much bigger,
Spinning by.

There she stands,
Belongs,
Enlivened
By the land
That mountains birthed,
And the knowledge
Of the power
That she holds
Through Mother Earth.

Off they go
With the harp
And the sounds
In their hearts.
Off they go
To work hard
And music’s soul
To impart.

Do not shy
From the dye,
Do not cringe
From the fringe.
What gives flowers the hue
Can teach color to you.
If two tones were the all
We’d be so bored we’d bawl.
So go on and dye more
Shades of lovely galore.

As peaks tower above
Too-tall tasks
Too-far prize,
Take small steps
Pace yourself,
But continue
To rise.

Be your own kind of
Exceptional.
Not inherently better than others
Not more entitled
Yet still unequivocally
Uniquely
Equipped
To be the best that you can be
And do the most good you can do
As you.

Every day I am reminded
How very partial I am
To the multitudes of
Living things
Upon this Earth.
They are all part of me
Just as I am part of all.
You see,
Our air has been
A zillion times recycled
Through innumerable breaths.
Each drop of water has been
In every ocean
Swam in every river
Rained on every land.
Molecules have merged into our very selves
From all that is around us.
Life has birthed and died and birthed
Repeatedly
So many times
That we are indeed
Essentially
Not just of one planet
But all One.
