Three creatures, different yet the same, observe the woods and a California lake. They are separate from what they see, and, at the same time, part of a larger vista. Are we capable of joining them? Photo: Kirsten Jones Neff (http://kirstenjonesneff.com), Novato, CA

World that Could Be Beauty abounds, if we’re willing to see. It’s for us to decide what its future will be. We make choices about it, each moment, each day: What to toss, perhaps forever, and what to let stay. There’s much more at stake than just outer saving At our peril we deny an equal inner craving. Splendor forms first in the heart, then the eye; Selfishness dooms sustaining forest to die. It dooms, too, the chance for humankind to thrive, To fulfill highest purpose, not just to survive. So let’s open our hearts, as we save the grove, Give all hearts a chance to savor the trove. Our own eyes see more if the means we employ Enlarge inspiring vistas for more souls to enjoy, And our souls expand, with beauty anew When we save for us all, including me, including you. Charles B.
