Whittery bit from last night
A nighttime wondering
Dear world
how was I once deluded so
as to think I knew so much of you
when in truth
you hold more wonders
than one lifetime will allow for me
to touch upon more than a small
really infinitesimal fraction of
Is it why some choose
(they do it, it is an act of will)
to become jaded
dripping with world weariness
embittered and vitriolic
rather than see that this planet
for all we know of its geography
its orbit and its history
ecosystems and geology
holds more of brilliance and horror
degradation and delight
peaceful plains and treacherous peaks
than we
no matter how broad our vision
deep our inquisitive exploration
can ever hope to know
i knew that!!

Amazing : ) There is knowing and then there’s knowing. I doubt you will ever do that jaded stuff but will always seek more brightness. Hugs
