"I watch the old tree breathing with the wind / It knows life is a dance and not a race"


Poem Artwork

The Wind the Avocado Tree and Me

 

Late avocados in January

Shaken down by desert winds untimely

Shining the sparkling stars to the very

Diamonds of heaven they seem to be

 

I watch the old tree breathing with the wind

It knows life is a dance and not a race

Obeying the laws no man can rescind

Showing there is more to life than we see

Dancing with grace in the timeless embrace

Of simple natural reality

 

I join the dance with the wind in my face

Unending unbegun where all is one

We children of the universe we three

The wind the avocado tree and me

Thank you Steven, thank you. It is about time someone came along and wrote something that no one will heed, but is sage advice for everyone. Human beings are not in a race to see who is going finish first. Finish what, may I ask? we say the white race, the black race, the oriental race, this race that race. What are we all racing for?

When the wind is gentle, I see the oak tree in my yard swaying to and fro with the music that only it and I can hear.

Life should be a relaxing adventure while we are here on earth. It should not have to be a contest, where everyone thinks they are the only ones that are right, and everyone else is wrong.

May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, maybe too stubborn for my own good, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your still very sad and very terrified little sister, Barbie

The flow is beautiful, Lance, as is the lesson you've shared. The grace you speak of is what life is teaching me now. Fair thee well this new year...Lin
