12/11 Sharing Earth-Space.

Up close and tied tight
to nature the worker or watcher becomes
half-wild.

Observing each detailed life
of perhaps fish or bird begets changes and
helps us to see like
a child.

Full on and in there the wonder
of other than ‘ I’ hits the senses, surprises
us if understanding is sought
then we begin reacting
with awe.

Living together and sharing
earth-space with all kinds of natural things
is exciting and will compel us to think
more that all other earthlings
count and are worth
fighting for.
