Crust

Oh the mighty versus the weak. A poet knows what's what. The populace would much rather blow each other to pieces than hug and forgive minor offenses.

Before we know it - 1,000 years doesn't come soon enough. And we all transmute back into the Earth's crust.

To Live On Mars

I'd like to live on Mars someday. If only for a month. I'd run around the dunes and swim in its many lagoons. And if at all possible I'd construct a sturdy raft, sail down river and catch and cook martian fish.

I'd try to find a companion but if none can be found I will not complain about the lack of companionship. For I will be the one and only human to traverse the red planet! I'll set up camp near a martian forest and sleep underneath the martian sky.

From time to time I'll look up at Earth and her moon and wonder what foolishness I might be missing. Chances are I won't be missing anything too important. I shall appreciate my time on Mars. Perhaps I'll even start my own civilization of free thinking sand people. But I will not be their king. No I will NOT! They'll have to decide that amongst themselves.

But if the sand people insist... I shall be no more than a guide. I'll teach them how to speak, write and create art. It may sound like a monumental task but I'd feel up to the challenge. If such a task takes longer than a month to complete then I'd be willing to stay longer.

I won't teach them much about Earth or our history. Mostly because I believe it would be best for them to focus on themselves and nothing else for a good long while. But if they should ask I'll just point at some random stars and tell them that everyone else is way too far away. They might agree, they might not.

I do expect their curiosity to get the better of them. Though, I'll probably be long gone by then. I'll either be physically gone or spiritually gone. Either way I'll be gone.

I'll probably live on Mars someday but for now I live on Earth.

The Natural State of Existence

Let go of Fear. Let go of Hate. Plenty of new remarkable energies are enveloping Mother Earth during this very crucial stage of Human evolution. You need not believe in anything but the wisdom within. If you do not trust your own wisdom you can rely on your heart. If you do not trust your heart... prepare to have your entire perspective blown away and changed for the better. If after you read this you still are not convinced just repeat this mantra: All will be well. All will be well. Harmony is the natural state of existence.

Molecular Essence

I stare at the skin molecules on my arm and wonder just what is holding them together. Is it gravity? Is it some kind of weird cosmic glue? I stare up at the clouds and wonder why they exist at all. Are they really a key element in controlling the weather? No one has ever successfully touched a cloud.

Everyday I imagine our entire planet revolving around the Sun. What causes our planet to revolve with such precision? If our Universe is just a great big series of random chaos then surely our planet would have been knocked out of orbit immediately after its birth.

There really isn't such a concept as emptiness. What we perceive as empty space/air is actually filled with an infinite amount of energy. Is it purely coincidence that this infinite energy exists at all?

I would think that if our existence is truly an accident then we would have already been witness to an infinite number of great catastrophes. Far greater than what our human brains would be able to comprehend.

The very fact that we exist at all could be evidence enough that there is much more than coincidence at work!

EARTH


To cherish what remains of the Earth and to foster its renewal is our only legitimate hope of survival. -Wendell Berry
