Mindfulness as Ballast
Does a cloud look down and ask
why the shade of gray
makes partners with cool?
Why the sun’s rotation wondrously
nurtures its fury from radiance-formed mirrors?
Do ocean waters sense the shore's
lapping caresses made tender
while tsunamic back-door-slamming
enfolds other boundaries with change?
Today’s awareness knows winged flight
remembers the evolving journey,
accepts its echoes of wind-sliced ballast,
and knows this dust of man raised high
upon cosmic-nesting lattice,
is but nurturing once again the next
mindfulness as ballast.
what’s afoot…and each one of us in thought, word and deed
contributes to this whirlpool agenda…

Yes, mindfulness, or paying attention to what is right and good goes a long way to keep the extremes from running things. But we have to act. If we don't act for what is right, what is wrong will continue to take over. So please, sign the petitions, go to the rallies, and insist on everyone do the right thing, the good thing, the balanced ballast holding the whole thing together.
