Every Artist

I often ponder the triumphant beauty of this earth.
Authentic; 'This is the life!' moments, in these moments I am compelled to cheer,
'I LOVE THIS PLANET!'
May we all cheer with robust vigor and genuine respect.
The 'good', the 'bad', each perceptions of all living beings,
culminating to construct the canvas that is our universe.
It is up to every individual to 'paint' what they see, as well as what it is in their heart.

King Bee

Is our purpose any more noble or righteous
than that of the bumble bee?

Perhaps this creature's movements, its behaviour
may be seen as erratic.

Could the venture's of man be characterized as any less so?
Blessed with the freedom of flight, and obsolved of the burden of ego,
in this way, the curious bumble bee does appear even more beautiful.

Its name; 'bumble'...CLEARLY a misnomer.
Despite being proportionately robust...this spirit is purposeful and proficient
...the flowers will testify.
Its rhythmic buzzing is distinct...quite a jovial and admirable insect you are to me
bumble bee.
Carry on beeing, carry on
Whilst two-billion humans insist upon bumbling about their lives,
you simply continue to be....a bumble bee.

Legacy

Fallen warriors whisper their secrets of fortitude and cunning.
Their valiant crusades and often horrific pain
shared with us upon thoughtful, crisp autumn winds.

True warriors honour their wounds but, are cautious
not to lament over them for too long...
for pity like quicksand can exert a strong grip,
from which escape is arduous and uncertain.

A wealth of ageless experience and wisdom,
knowledge more vast than the sky itself..
the warrior's tale longs to be embraced.

A Pilgrimage toward enlightenment and self-discovery
will always recruit companions and allies
provided that authenticity and courage be tenets
of membership

...

Of little value is it to be sure-footed,
or of strong back'
when one's heart is staked to the ground of
dreams passed.

...

The steaming stench of gluttonous profit and guiltless exploitation,
by comparison... curiously bestows a fragrance as sweet as lilac
upon death itself.

A stubborn weed

Arrogance and Assumption;
collaborate to provide rich, fertile ground
for misunderstanding to take root.
