"Evil can be undone, but it cannot 'develop' into good"
...C.S. Lewis
Journey with me, james from Minnesota...
Begin this journey from a quiet place
Close your eyes and feel your good
Your mind has the gift of sight
And touch
Leave your body and rise above
Sunshine appears from the east
On a cloudless day
Pause above my garden, the aroma
From the soil promises rebirth
A few Purple Finches serenade joy
Melodious honey, expectant!
Around the corner, great fantails of male
Wild Turkeys shimmer proud plumage
To skeptical females, regal courtship!
Follow me into the forest
Eager mushroom spores send vital
Phosphorous and sugars up companion trees
And along fallen comrades, soon
Revealing nourishment to friends
And warnings to invaders
Lets soar higher!
Joining arrows of Geese, searching
Pockets of open water, where once was
Covered with ice
Higher still!
Bald Eagles, buffeted by earths release of
Warm air, perform lazy loops with you and
Me, spying prey unaware of Eagles eyes,
Tho we do not join them in their perilous
Descent upon the intrepid
We respect their need to survive
Further on, we transform back upon the
City streets, sending cautious impulses
To excited children, stepping into the
Streets, smiling when parents grasp their
Hands
Warmth now envelops us
Comforting our fears, knowing our
Creator, the One who combined all
DNA, who gave purpose to all life
Loves
Us
