the myths of birth and rebirth are as old as humankind
scratched onto cave walls, tablets of stone or clay, scrolls of papyrus or parchment, for hundreds of years on paper, and nowadays typed onto backlit screens that are recycled faster than old hieroglyphs were understood
in our time when refugees are tens of millions on our globe
let us remember that these myths have celebrated for millenia not battles, war, or death but the survival of the human race the joy we feel when new life has arrived often against all odds the hope that emanates from godesses or mother saints of yore who symbolize fertility, have brought forth saviors and new tribes
these are what has propelled us to our current state
and we do well to not forget that our fate does not depend on people slain but on how we can save the joy of life and celebrate all humankind again
Trying hard to write a verse of joyful optimism in dire times.... Wishing y'all on hellopoetry a Merry Christmas and a Better New Year!
