Ponder the Garden

IMG_8350 (8).jpeg


recover
your co-opted
senses

breathe deeply
open your eyes

ponder the garden

nature
contains

but within
her vastness
she nurtures

freedom and possibility

allows change
differentiation
diversity


IMG_8414.jpeg


movement and mingling
is essential and encouraged
so ALL may evolve
within the whole

the flower
denied the little feet
of winged midwifes
produces a seed
that cannot take root


IMG_8350 (6).jpeg


a seed
sheltered
from the wind
robs it soil

minerals depleted
chemicals siphoned
earth acidified

eat the fat of the land
allow hooves their earth
free tread, space, and time

maintain the roots
multiplicity and wealth
bequeath life
to future generations

allow little things
their breeze play
or weaken the stem
that supports the flower

have no more garden
to ponder

It is very important that we stop conflating being treated with that MRNA as some kind of vote or support for the mandates. It is not; NO ONE was given INFORMED CONSENT whether they took it voluntarily or because of the COERCIVE powers of mandates.

COERCION is NOT CONSENT; it is a crime against humanity and an act of violence. An irreversible one. The treatment does not prevent transmission and an acknowledge side effect of it is death. The ethical parameters that should govern its use are informed consent, relative risk and choice; not mandates and withheld Charter Rights.

The best governing
Is no different than the best parenting

The nation is guided by the leader
For the ends the people see
The leader foresees no ends

The child is guided by the parent
For the ends the child sees
The parent foresees no ends


Link to the spoken word

The leader, the parent
Intervenes only when
The people, the children
Fight the Tao



Fight each other

With a gentle hand
Redirection is offered
To do otherwise is to fight the Tao

There is no hand strong enough
To fight the Tao

Beautiful photos. The daffodils just came into bloom in my area. Appreciate their sunshine faces each year.

Harbingers of better things:)
