Regeneration

Leave a reply

Out of charred remains,
glimpses of green restore faith,
life’s will to survive.

Just as the the forest regenerates after a fire, so is humanity renewing itself after the affront of a pandemic. So it has always been after catastrophes, and so it shall be again. The will of nature and the human spirit to survive, adapt, revitalize, and thrive is astounding. This is creativity in its finest hour.

Does the forest grow back exactly as it was before? How can it? Neither will we. We are changed, and although humans often resist change, we had no choice – it was thrust upon us. Change is a very good thing. It gives us the opportunity to assess what wasn’t working, make improvements, or maybe even do a complete makeover if need be.

So are we currently undergoing a simple regeneration, or will it prove to be an astounding rebirth? This will depend greatly on certain choices we make along the way. What do you think?

The future shines bright for
those who put intention there.
Reach for the brass ring!

Time to see ourselves
as the glorious beings
humans truly are.

Let’s choose to become
the galactic citizens
we were born to be.

Consciousness rising,
awareness of destiny,
the big unveiling!

Excitement builds as
we claim the potential of
our own Creation.

From the Fringe

Travel is certainly one way we can remove ourselves from our regular circle and the group mindset. Every group has one. This has been easy for me to see when traveling to different countries, and the differences in mindset between cultures and communities can be quite startling.

Do you objectively stand outside of your particular community and observe how often everyone adopts the same thought patterns? Why do we human beings have a propensity to do this?

There may be many answers to this, but a couple that come to mind immediately are “to feel safe” and “to feel validated”. How to break out of these needs? It’s an important question, because this need to feel part of the whole at any cost can lead us down the path of sometimes making choices that go against our own inner wisdom.

Families dissolve,
society dismantled.
The elephants weep.

I have much more to say about elephants, and how humans can learn from them. In fact, we can learn from all of nature. But that’s for another day.

I’ve been working all week on a compilation of the best from my Hart Haiku collection. Hart Haiku was my first blog site, and I posted there between May 2019 and August 2020. Each haiku was accompanied by expanded commentary in the posts.

That writing was important, because the haikus revealed to me what I most wanted to say. As it happened, it fell into three categories: Nature, humanity (including society), and self-fulfillment. That blog was therefore an important springboard for my writing moving forward. It’s also makes for an interesting collection, because I made special photo art cards to display the haikus. The ebook contains what I consider to be the 100 best.

Anyway, watch for the announcement this coming week when I get it listed in my store. Perhaps you’d like to pick up a copy. 🙂

Have a beautiful weekend. Please treasure your family.
