Indifferent

The wind howls
The waves rise and fall in the mighty sea
The sun shines
Completely indifferent to you and me

A storm brews
Lightning flashes across the sky
The clouds will part
Not aware of you and I

So, here we are
In a tiny fragile place in time
We have a unique opportunity
To make a tiny sacrifice

Yet we kick and scream
We stress over trivial little things
We miss the beauty in life
We only find what we bring

The wind still blows
The waves rise and fall in the sea
The sun still shines
Indifferent to you and me

Children - and other creatures - are happy to discover what they share in common, whereas adults only see what makes them "different" aka "better" than another person, but the tide rises and washes all away. Nice work! Aloha! Rico

Thanks Rico, yes...we are very shallow creatures. There is beauty in everything if we look for it! Thanks again
