Review of the options available
Revealed more unrealistic expectations
Uncovering foundations of shaky conclusions
Holding mythical wisdom up as fact
Our framework is based on fallacies
Passed down without conscious thought
The choices that remain for us dwindle
While hard work is wasted on denialism


SHAKTI GAWAIN
I’m working on a new level of communication
The reflection of light is a tricky practice
One needs stillness’s steady gaze to know
When to absorb versus when to return
The essence of meaning we recognize as ours


The center remains hidden
Anger can swirl and burn
Around the edges of our thoughts
But standing firm in the middle
Is the strengthening core of accountability


The tendency to make others feel inadequate
Comes from a dark double meaning we hide
Beneath the useless doubt and conjecture
An endless thorny question about truth
Pretending to be wisdom, blame ends curiosity


Daily perspective can remain static
Habits drive a limited existence
Taking a new look at the options
Reveals the unlimited power
Derived from investigating new evidence


Each of us goes to work in different places
Some of us fly from flower to flower
Collecting pollen, maintaining nature
Experiencing beauty and service
From the viewpoint of a short lifespan


Season ticket holder for change
Watching the game take a turn
Happened so fast that I question
The way the results will be viewed
We know that our past is shadowed
Can we draw the line on this repetition?


Seasonal change brings nostalgia and excitement
Moving into the familiar with a new idea
That our old ideals and values will become reality
Leaving us with a sense of accomplishment


By soaking up the weather and fauna
By listening to birdsong and buzzing bugs
By tuning into this season of change
Our new possibilities are emerging
From cloudy distant combinations
Now coming into focus with vigor and joy


Linger over here while the season changes
Wait for the glorious explosion of color
Fading into blankets of grey and brown
Skies darken later in the morning
Sending time through a slow transition
