World Adapts

Small village of 'Bunessan' when the tide is out, a couple miles from my 'croft' at 'Kintra'.

October 2006 on the Isle of Mull, Scotland.

World Adapts

3/14/11

Evolution can be a messy affair,

some say Holocaust created big leap

in moral consciousness of humanity,

and end of any war wants same

to be formally recognized as advance,

rendering statements like 'Never again!'

'Forever remember horrible lessons learned!'

where everyone tries on new outlook

of peaceful brother and sisterhood, oneness,

realizing we're all in this together,

so do abnormal 'natural' disasters

when living on an 'alive' Earth

that constantly equalizes forces, balancing

gravity pulling in, fiery core pushing out,

no two days ever staying the same,

plants grow, die in cyclical dance,

mountains rise up broadening girth,

waters crest and fall with moon

or movement from fault line shifts,

many impacting with drastic consequence

while others don't register with sentients,

especially those preoccupied consuming humans

caught up in narcissistic pursuit of security

never to be attained within changing environment,

until surprise emergencies activate great qualities,

as virtues, sorely needed when whole world adapts.
