Searching

Birds find their food right in the ground Critters find it strewn all around Bears enjoy hunting for meat or for fish Lions and tigers most always get their wish Yet we humans struggle to put food on our platters Too busy searching for love ~ what really matters

Beautiful write, Gershon. Love is everything, as you say: it is why we put water out for birds, wear cotton instead of bearskin coats, and plant in the hot sun so the world will be well fed -- when labor is something we love doing...it is Divine Tapestry. Blessings my friend.

Love gets thin on the ground when the Earth's axis stops spinning around. No Love No Food No Good.
