CHANGE OF HEART

Climate change as contemporary civilization is discovering ever more quickly day by day the world over is elusive until the atmospheric shifts appear to manifest as happening suddenly.  Change is a constant.  It is always with us.  Nothing happens suddenly.  Morning is glorious and nightfall arrives to claim its fair portion of every day.  High noon when the sun is directly above illuminates a sense of coming to a halt.  It’s an illusion and only for a moment. Very much like our own human bodies the heavens have been set in motion.  

Every action is significant paced within orbital spheres that move beyond our earthly occupation.  These are known facts gathered piece by piece within the human experience.  They are valuable allowing for the recognition of human souls and connections to a spirit common to everything.  When we are preoccupied, attempting to live, existence over takes us, and we lose our sense of child-like wonder and delight.  Discovery slips past even brushing the surface of our sensitive skin.  We are made for finding one another. Yet our very inventiveness deceives our innermost yearnings.  Who can overcome this inner urge wanting only to make itself known?  Who is it that would strive to become ruler in their fate? Anyone who will learn to listen will find the peace required to enter the realm where that one waits.  

Listen.  It’s the humming in the sound of our breath bringing our heartbeats together, in the endless magnitude, One.  Then, now, all ways, always.
