the beauty of life
a lone dandelion dances on the breeze
saddened by life I look to her in her natural state
nature never stops with its celebration of life
it is ever diligent with its truth
I watch the birds of the air kiss the sky
I long to be that innocent
an honest creature of hope
if they are saddened by the world as it is today
they never complain
no storm or earthly trouble keeps them from their duty
like clockwork with their diligent pursuit of life
I awaken to bird chatter and song
they humbly remind me life goes on
the earth keeps rotating on her axis
and my life keeps the march going
pushing forward come what may
with hopes of the eternal
a flower in the garden of truth
a handmaiden of faith
my heart renewed

I was moved by this, crimsin...
I think about this often. Humans overcomplicate everything.
We are too complex for our own good, really...
In deep nature it is hard to find such good and evil, right and wrong,
and even if it exists there, we fail label it that.
We set the standard for evil by humans standards.
Also, surely some creatures are too simplistic too feel such complex emotions like hate and resent, to contemplate the world, or feel much anxiety outside of their primitive instinctual drives; as nice as that sounds, were we more simplistic creatures, we also wouldn't be capable of feeling such developed emotions on the other side of the spectrum (wonder, yearning, awe, delight) etc... I just have to decide if I'd be willing to give that up!
It is a pleasant thought, though. To imagine such a simplistic existence brings me great peace.
I especially liked the optimism at the end :)

thank you graciously dearest poet yes I agree we are blessed in our ability to feel and just be human in all its triumphants and vulnerabilities I just find myself looking to nature and its secure role in life wishing it were easy for me in a life where so often I find myself astray...nature stays its course...it inspires me I deeply appreciate your thoughts this morning ❤

So beautiful and insightful Brenda I feel this so damn deeply 👏❤️🙌
"I long to be that innocent
an honest creature of hope
if they are saddened by the world as it is today
they never complain
no storm or earthly trouble keeps them from their duty"
I feel this way so often, I like to think many of us do but I feel I have my whole life, then Im reminded that as a being we're also part of this divine dance
but we forget so easily and pretend to not belong for some reason
"wishing it were easy for me in a life where so often I find myself astray."
I feel you though I do as well
It's a perpetual process I suppose
Great piece Brenda

thank you dearest Hunter I love having you as a brother on this journey...it's so funny I actually talk to the trees and stuff I really believe they here me and are happy for my company... I laugh out loud when say a duck is walking across my path looking a little too cocky...reminds me to not take things so seriously as I do...have a beautiful Easter my friend ❤
