What a Beautiful Morning

Amidst all of the madness, insanity, and troubles in our world, there is still incredible beauty to be found.

If we but pause a moment and look. Or listen...

I stopped off this morning after dropping off my daughter and walked up on a small dewy and grassy rocky knoll to watch the rising mists and fogs blowing through the small valleys and ridges with the morning sun, bright against the clear blue sky.

I stood there for some whiles, and watched.

I considered the "science" and "rules" and "laws" behind what I was watching. The sun heating the dew, the chemical bonds, the electrons, the heat rising. The mining of metals and smelting and forming, and manufacturing, included within all the cars going by. The blood rushing through our veins and the rivers of cars, etc, and blah, blah, blah.

And so what anyway? It was just plain beautiful, same as it ever was and will be, regardless of what I "know", or "believe" about how it happens or works. It happens and works on it's own, following the rules, laws, and systems of Nature.

And don't even get me started on our "rules" and "laws." They have little to do with any reality aside from protection of profits and prophets, empire and property. I would suggest that until our laws/rules are based upon and in alignment with the laws and rules of nature, that we will be rushing off an environmental cliff.... and time will tell.

The timeless mists of morning rising in the cool quiet.

And the river of unhappy rushing cars 100' beside me.

We often get lost and forget to stop and take note of what beauty is around, even if it is but a single blade of grass growing in a barren place. And in so many times and places it is pretty damn hard to see or find that beauty....... hidden and trapped behind our fears and angers.

In this crazy swirling world, whirtling around, with all of our distinctions and differences, our individual profits and prophets, fences, "private" property, mine, mined and mindlessly minced for our gods which are better and more righteous than than those of the infidels, and "insurgents" or anyone who believes differently than we do, which we obliviate in the name of our own particular loving and just God....

From the dewy grass ten feet in front of me I watched the steam vapors rising in little wisps and tiny rainbows.

We may ask one another on the street, how are you, and rush on by, especially if someone actually responds with something beyond "great.... or fine..." In our own worlds, all of us.

Not just New Years, or Birthdays, etc, Happy EVERYDAY? May we be alive with awe and wonder. Don't forget for an instant! Be ye childlike and alive.

Grow down and play.

And perhaps..... for many in our world, happy any day? Just one day, or any day at all, some day.... Perhaps just a little food, or shelter. Or a little rest from having the fortune of being poor or uneducated, and being collateral in a war zone between tantruming lunatics on the world stage.

Lets change this world for the better? Kindle the awe. Let the profits and prophets rest for a couple whiles. Better yet, send them packing, and let the rest of us share some community, and awe, and wonder at just being alive?

You can keep all the money and stuff. Lock it up tight with yourself if you must.

I'll take the timeless mists of morning, the wonder and spirit in the eyes of most children, and the sparkling beauty of love.
