Places Everyone!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We Humans seem

more than a little Self Absorbed

in Human Doings.

We forget

we are imbedded

in a larger Natural System

which holds us.

Usually, She is relatively quiet.

Some days She roars.

Such days are coming.

Blizzard is forecast.

We 3 C's try to go

with the flow of such things.

We work on preparedness.

The North Dakota Experience

taught us to hunker down,

let Nature do Her Thing.

We 3 Humans try to sit quietly

in our Front Row Seats

for a Grand Play,

observing the Wonder and Awe

of Something Far Greater

than we can comprehend,

embracing the Smallness

of what it means to be Human.

And, Dear Melanie reminds

those of us who have been Adults a little too long

to remember to play.

"Places, Everyone!"
