A Summer Morning

Today, just be.

For as long as you can.

Be the lake,

Be the breeze,

Be the sunshine.

The trees that sway,

The ripples that flow,

The songs and screeches of those in the sky.

Forget the human life you are living,

For just a while.

Unite with the nature that surrounds you,

And from there,

You will unite with the humans that surround you.

Once you can unite the physical life

That exists,

You can only then comprehend the interconnectedness,

The energy that unites,

And the other than physical that exists -

The thoughts, the memories, the emotions

That anchor the humans

To their deaths.

Yes, listen.

Death does not exist in the life of a wren.

Death does not exist in the life of a sunfish.

Death does not exist in the life of a rabbit.

Only the Great Now exists for them.

So, for just a moment, choose.

Life or death,

Human or nature.

You can always goes back to being a human

Who believes in death

Tomorrow.
