If we could lift understanding
to indigenous teachings
expand our love
to earth, sky, and sea
Make personal gain taboo
and Ancients a weigh point
If we could witness the mountains
slow floating across the sky
and touch the dolphin’s soul
anxiously swimming
where tuna are netted
Would we cower at our insignificance
or move forward, learning to accept
that all of life is deeply woven
into the fabric of our collective hopes.
(Image my own)
if we can all be, humble in front of Mother Nature, if we can all, respect all things living and non, the world be a whole lot better, but, it doesnt work that way, the world’s too far from, perfect right now, and it’s not going to get better anytime, soon.

Most wonderfully woven VJ. I believe this is possible if we let go of our greed and touch those whales. Thanks. Lovely indeed.
