Environment

earth, air and water

they seem so vast

and us so small

much have they changed

without us

yet now the pace

is so much faster

and ours

the onus

lest dreams

become nightmares

Some things are always important.


    Journey
she and I
together so long
giving things meaning
by sharing                                                     

                                                   
Small children and good poets
have a lot of questions.
Beware of those who claim
to know all of the answers.

                                    
The scenic photos on this blog
are from various countries.
I didn't take them. I hope
you find them enjoyable
and inspiring, as I do.

                                            
In these tough times, we need
inspiration from various arts
more than usual.
This might work in some places
(outside, with social distancing):

     Poetry reading
bards and triers
a venerable tradition
the audience listens
looking for magic

                                                                                                                                                            

I'm lucky enough to be living in
a place where the management
of COVID-19 is going very well.
Of course, our ancestors also
faced huge challenges including
wars and plagues.

    Other heroes
doctors in pandemics
firefighters in bushfires
whistleblowers in corruption
mothers who manage much

The human mind is the
most complicated and
mysterious thing
known to science.

     Humanity
bring the band
and sing great songs
armies of robots
can't kill poetry
