Wonder, Beauty, Awe and Love
I saw wonder
In a spiral arm
Wonder In a cell
Wonder In a leaf
The gentle ocean’s swell.
I saw beauty
In a blossom
Beauty In a snake
Beauty In a spider’s web
The crystals of a flake.
I found awe
In infinity
Awe In nature’s scope
Awe In an atom’s spin
In the eternal ring of hope.
I found love
In my pet’s eyes
Love In my children’s smiles
Love In my sweetheart’s touch
Love’s never out of style.
Wonder, beauty, awe and love
Provide purpose – just enough!

I felt I needed a positive note. While a lo of my writing is dark my life is not. It is full of beauty, awe, love and wonder. I felt I needed to express that in order to provide some balance.
If I rail against the system I find myself stranded in it’s because I want it to change; I want to make it better.
Yes, I know, that is futile – but I believe in gestures. I believe in cycles. We are currently in a cycle of fear, hate and division. I hope that love, awe, hope, beauty and wonder will reassert itself.
We really don’t need greed.
Love always wins! Beauty is all around us! Wonder is what the universe runs on! Awe is how we should always feel!
