Now my mind is awake...

My body will presently follow

So one more moment  I will take

And in the dark I will not wallow




There seems to a mind such as mine

To be a sort of shift to make

So I will wallow in the divine

And rise for heaven's sake

Today is a birthday
The earth still spins
This moment is over
Soon as it begins

Such blessings you've spoken,
My head you anoint,
And it took our whole lives
To arrive at this point

We've wanderlust, so...
We'd better get packing
Or figure out what,
In this moment, is lacking

Today is a death day
The earth still spins
This moment is over
Soon as it begins

The branching connections are vast
All pervasive
Connecting me to you
Interconnecting all beings

We are all here made of the same stuff
The stuff of stars

Your ancestors,
Your progeny,

Your friend,
And enemy,

*I-am-you-are-we-and-they-are-us

The fact
That we exist at all
Is mind blowing!

What is this unlikely experience we creatures of earth are having?

Consciousness  is  miraculous.

  The seeming unlikeliness of something
Obviously doesn't eliminate the truth of it

Open your eyes and imbibe!
Look where we are!  Observe that we are!

We are here!

On the outer edge of the milky way
In conditions perfectly balanced
To support our continued existence

What striking synchronicities!
