A Poem
This week was explosive. My garden produced cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash, potatoes and the first cherry tomatoes. I was overwhelmed and since I can’t share the fruits, I share the reflections.
On one autumnal equinox, when afternoon light was dancing with shadows, I remember groups of people at the north edge of the Sunshine Meadow of Botanical Gardens at Asheville clustered under the Basswood trees. At the eastern edge, others emerged from the gazebo, where they had sought shelter from the rain. At the southern edge Reed Creek babbled and gurgled, heading westward toward the French Broad River. Near the green bridge came sounds of someone playing a Native American flute.
Because I believe that human consciousness is changing in the direction of planetary consciousness, I want to suggest that we fly the flag of our Earth to strengthen this reality—and soon. Climate change, loss of species, depletion of basic resources, and pollution of waters all send a message that our current mode of thinking is dangerously outmoded.
