My Shadow

I am trying to embrace my shadow...

etchings

the marks
we make
on walls
on stone
on earth
on the world
in history
on others
making scars
on them
on ourselves
etchings
meanings

Can I Help?

Can I help?
I want to help!
Can I do it?
Please, please, please!
Let me, let me!
I want to help!
I'll do it!
Can I?  Can I?
Can I help!

We've Come So Far

We have marched across continents,
sailed every ocean and sea,
climbed every mountain,
and rode across the sky,
to walk on the moon...

We have fought invisible diseases,
saved lives from early deaths,
grown enough food to feed the world,
eased troubled minds and souls...

We have come so far,
and still our work is not done.
What do we leave to our children,
as we march across the lands,
and touch the Jupiter and Mars?

Adapt!

If it rains and changes the soil around you, adapt!  Keep building.
