Nature is so chock-full
of great teachers, to offer lessons,
to inspire and motivate you,
to bring back, to the right path.
But if you dismiss it —
busy with streaming, binge-watching,
endless scrolling, or trying to fit in,
because you don’t want, to be left out.
you are digging own ditch.
Those fabricated, manipulative things
can never teach you, what nature can.
So, take a break, step out, and seek
get enchanted — by the wisdom
in the ant, the dandelions,
the migratory swallows, oaks
the honeybees, the spiderwebs,
the chrysalis, the purslane.
Learn from them, life philosophies,
diminish suffering, do better.

The Light Turns
It's Tuesday 7:13 a.m. A cold and clear November morning awaits Ray on his morning commute. Ray rubs his hands together in the front seat of his Subaru. He turns the air temperature up, but keeps the air on low until the air warms up. He looks at the backup camera screen and reverses the Subaru out of his driveway onto Trimble Road.
