What’s this dragonfly doing?
Looks like another insect has been caught in a web,
which has got his attention.
I’m not that much of an insect expert.

Earth, Pale Blue Dot Leave a comment

Earthrise
Where despite disparities
We all care to protect this world,
This riddled blue marble, this little true marvel
To muster the verve and the nerve
To see how we can serve
Our planet. You don’t need to be a politician
To make it your mission to conserve, to protect,
To preserve that one and only home
That is ours,
To use your unique power
To give next generations the planet they deserve.
We are demonstrating, creating, advocating
We heed this inconvenient truth, because we need to be anything but lenient
With the future of our youth.
And while this is a training,
in sustaining the future of our planet,
There is no rehearsal. The time is
Now
Now
Now,
Because the reversal of harm,
And protection of a future so universal
Should be anything but controversial.
So, earth, pale blue dot
We will fail you not.

Philosophy is like trying to open a safe with a combination lock:
each little adjustment of the dials seems to achieve nothing,
only when everything is in place does the door open.

South American Coot bird
South American Coot little birds
Black feathered wings with orange beak
Swims with a graceful swift in
The murky waters spout
Hiding in the green
Foliage when
Sees someone
Looking
