To Choose

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

To choose a Path

which goes

against

the Life Giving Powers

of this Earth,

whether by Accident

or on Purpose,

leads one and one's kind

to Death.

It can happen fast,

in an instant.

Or it can happen slowly,

so slowly that

one cannot see

clearly

their demise.

Indeed,

that burden

may be placed fully 

on our Heirs.

If we listen closely,

we may hear

their voices:

"Nice gift,

Dad, Mom,

Grandma, Grandpa."

"And

what

were you

thinking?"

To choose a path

which goes

with the Life Giving Powers

of this Earth

honors Gifts

of Creation and Life,

Sacred Gifts

of the Divine.

There are

no guaruntees.

But this surely brings

a promise

the current Path

cannot provide.
