Keeping current in wellness, in and out of the water

Artificial intelligence
November 9, 2025
Landing on earth today without warning
Would be a great vexation to alien life
The current rush to invest in technology
Is fueled by robots already smarter than man
It looks like the ultimate confidence job
Convincing humans to give it all the power
Yet, this strategy seems to work for now
How ludicrous!
Reductions
November 6, 2025
Once one starts to make necessary reductions
How obvious all this excess costs
Dragging around an empty container
Full of outdated concepts that have corroded
Couldn’t be more useless
Spell
November 4, 2025
Whisper the rhyme that ties you to heaven
Listen for tiny pauses in the noisy background
Hold close sacred sounds that pass through
Lingering on the air while watching us
Polarity
November 2, 2025
Feelings rebounded in growing darkness
Assurance of the eventual conquest of light
Creeps around the corner showing
Both options available to us right now
Variations
October 30, 2025
Nature’s systems show varied cycles
Taking time and weather into account
They find individual ways to express
What they have been sent here to say
Planetary Resources
October 29, 2025
As snow melts slushy liquid flows downhill
In channels shifting constantly by erosion
As the water passes plants are nourished
Abundance is at hand, ease is possible
Yet some are left without moisture
Others are wiped out by floods
The resources are not distributed evenly
Without Measure
October 28, 2025
Trading wisdom for action is a shortcut
To the realm of endless busywork
Rationalize your shifting expectations
By seeking a life with no leisure, no joy
And you will find merit does not accumulate
There will be no way to know what was lost
Determined
October 28, 2025
Nature makes progress towards reform
With occasional destructive damage
Inflicted to destroy barriers to transformation
Cycles continue to find clashing cymbals
Sounding the sparks between opposites
Vexatious Challenge
October 25, 2025
Courting disaster from every possible angle
A contentious power structure upheld
By the flimsy process of representation
Hardly fools anyone
The will toward violence is palpable
It requires patience to resist responding
Golden Visions
October 24, 2025
The flash of color symbolizes the living end
The glorious orchestral shades in warm tones
Lead the eye and the spirit to a crescendo
From which we will naturally begin to sink
