Oh ♥ Nature
I took no pics,
because !! gross !!
I vowed to tell no one,
because ewwwww.
But here I am, the a.m. after with Circle Of Life quietly humming through my vibe
and there I was, yesterday afternoon, absolutely transfixed on Nature, simply doing her thing.
A hawk.
An unidentified, unfortunate critter.
& yeah, the details are too gory to tell.
Truth be told, I stood in my curious, gaping trance, anticipating a launch.
I wanted to see that mighty bird, with those powerful wings take flight, to go somewhere else to do what needed to be done.
Instead, he devoured.
A couple hundred feet away, but right before my eyes, he devoured.
And as I witnessed the ugly beauty of creation, I pondered.
Oh, nature.
NATURE.
You are serene and perfect and quiet and subtle.
You’re violent and angry and unrelenting and disturbing.
You whisper.
You howl.
You’re caring, yet, unforgiving.
You sparkle, you shine, you growl, you moan.
You’re simple.
You’re complex
& you reveal the best and the worst of yourself and of the people who inhabit this incredible planet.
You are a majestic monster, Nature, and your lessons are continual.
How will I respond to your joy and wonderfulness ?
How will I react to your heartache and devastation ?
Help me see your every reason, Nature.
Please help me understand.
