Crying Out
It is only an instant
our time and space
mere footsteps floating above the sand
beneath the blink of eternity's cosmic pulse
Interval's shadow
these tiny grains of past and present
the oneness of light and dark
the singularity of nature
patiently searches
picks carefully
and then shares
ethereal resonance
For some
once planted
this sudden silhouette
seems safely at rest
For others
firm footing is never realized
For most
careless stumbling
becomes habit's empty comfort
Nevertheless
The journey of all that is
continues its everyday migration
across and through the erosion of time
sometimes seen
sometimes heard
occasionally
felt
How patient and precious this enigma
Knowing
Waiting
Aware with nurturing caution
existence itself
might some day
need to cry out

For most
careless stumbling
becomes habit's empty comfort
To allow oneself to stumble takes away from the need to decide where to place a foot... Provoking and insightful work as always, Odin. xx
I am grateful to be living and I'm living every minute of it. I know I will die sometime and I don't worry about how and when.

view, Odin; i don't have much respect left
for us as a species for we could do so much
better but choose not to - Aquinas, and i'm not
in general
a 'fan' of his, did say it well when he said
'love is in the will' and in a way, but only
in a way, it consoles me that we will pass to
extinction and when we do the planet will be better
for our leaving

The Homo sapiens of this planet, as far as I am aware, are the only living thing who dare question its existence. We have been doing this at least as long as there were drawings on caves which evolved into the written word. Because of the different brain patterns we have come up with many, many theories concerning our origin. This, then, is an excellent example of that search, although it's primarily purpose is to delve into the "thinking" rather than the origin, but to me they both go hand-to-hand.
Astute is this: "For most/careless stumbling/becomes habit's empty comfort." I'm flattened by the acuity of that line. ~~ Diana
