_______________________________

Seeking meaning, I went on an adventure, Deep in the forest looking for answers. Pine cones, butterflies and lots of twigs, Need I seek reasoning in all of this? After so long, I came upon a little bridge, That seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. But that didn't need to be my best guess, As there was a sign, "MIDDLE OF NOWHERE". Centered in the bridge was a black and white squirrel, With colors arranged like a Holstein cow. With all this craziness, encountering me, I needed my wisdom, I needed it now! I asked the little squirrel, What is the world's destiny? He faced himself squarely at me, And spoke responding happily... "Please, perch yourself on this Branch of my groovy tree. Don't get distracted. Listen carefully... Destiny is not a mere Turn of phrase. It's made up by all And how they choose to use their days. Destiny is tomorrow Determined by today. It's made up in practice Not by what people say. So. Observe the World around you. How do people act? The World's destiny is determined By the World - and that's a fact!" 19-September-2021
