We are so willing to click in and go for the ride.
Neurons firing and off we jettison
into yet another collective illusion
while the god of Abraham, bless his heart,
calls it good.
It’s all good.
The miracle of bodies in time and space.
Damn the consequences as,
iPhone in hand and television cranked,
we stride out blinking, blind as moles,
into fractured rays of the sun’s early light,
ignorant of it having risen
in the utter stillness of earth’s rotation
around a fiery halo.
Such a beautiful fiery halo too. 🙂
Thanks, Sue! And as ever, thanks for reading ☺️
Quite wonderful Bela; you move from the bleak mundanity of our preoccupations into the perspective of our humbling presence in the cosmos with such grace and eloquence. Many congratulations once again on your consistently exceptional work.
Hariod ❤
Hariod, you once again humble me with your kind praise. Thanks so much!
Full deserved, and thanks in abundance to you Bela.
☺️
Indeed. 🙂
We need to be closer to nature and turn off our media. Oh how expressive and powerful this sounds, Bela! You are such a courageous and outgoing person who makes me want to try harder to be like this! Smiles!
Robin, you are too kind. I find it’s very easier for me to ‘be’ than to ‘do.’ But we’re not all the same, or the world would be a boring place. Aloha!
Every time I click here I enjoy the ride…thanks, Bela. The world is way too beautiful and wonderful to stay inside that Holiday Inn, virtual or otherwise 🙂
Yes, we surely agree on that!
I love how your writing makes me first feel, then think, Bela…it’s a wonderful gift 🙂
Happy you perceive my writing the way it comes from me 😉 Aloha, VL!
Hariod Brawn, recocochran and Vivian Lea have said it for me._/\_
Aww, thanks, Jack! ❤
