the world,the earth

two planets

one of nature

one of man

two worlds in collision

soon we will need to choose

in which world

we shall live

look into your senses

and follow them to their end

and there you will find your place

the world is a hunger

so is the earth

the world is glamour

the earth is love

make your choice

know your peace

consciousness

dwells inherently

in all matter

light, sound, space, time, events

a life span

all of this is matter

and the perception of consciousness

is matter

matter is made of space, time, light, sound

and perception and constant change

when the seas return to where they used to be

as they must

and coastlines crumble under water and dust

the world will be a wetter place

but there will be less to eat

and more time to be

the world

is made of

fragile systems

we,the human species

are the most fragile system of all

for we are self-created

our own incandescent flare in the dark sky of life

gone,a trace of light,

fleeting

after we have gone

nature will be here

boiling up the formulae

for the next

fragile system

each system inherits the emotional and spiritual nature

of its predecessor

for life

needs fragile systems

in order to be indestructible

Each of your moods and fleeting senses

are intimations of seasons

come and yet to be

for living in the human world

your breath is power

by which your identity moves and forms itself

constantly

as the time of the slaughtered turkey is fast approaching

and the weeping christ forgot

give yourself the gift

of emotional resilience

the quietest whisper, the rustling of wind in dry grass

the vindictive thought or word

all is heard

the garland of praise or loving words

all is heard

as the rain falls

so do the

illusions held by the world

about its own nature

look into the way the rain falls

each rain drop

different from the other

in shape, texture, weight and sound

each drop

containing light

Those who cultivate hate but feel far from harm

will discover the warm embrace, gentle at first,

of chill self-knowledge

those who cultivate love and forebearance

are given the gift of endurance

those who cultivate restraint discover the wild abandon of joy

those who cultivate love and mindfulness

become more human

those who cultivate their humanity

become more divinely human

those who cultivate a connection with their god

discover distance and wonder

those who cultivate simplicity

know the intricate workings of complication

those who cultivate letting things be as they are

discover the true nature of anonymity

cultivate all of these

and you become a

seed in the growth of the human tree

which will bear a ripe and juicy fruit

that will contain upon the first bite

all knowledge and understanding

and all lackof that

Britain is entering

an edwardian age revisted

expanding technology and financial crisis

the rushing of the archduke towards his Sarajevo waltz

a sad time lost in a dappled sunlit miasm

the world too is like this

and such times

new thinking brings light

and with light comes a brooding darkness

seeking conflict and confrontation because it can

be prepared for the unknown becoming the unexpected
