Universal Messages

From a train window, July 2018

The Universe declares itself

in everyday things.

We only have to listen 

to hear all it sings.

But our lives are so busy, 

our minds never land.

To listen and hear is 

not part of our plan.

But plans can be changed, 

not always easily done,

so our days going forward 

will be in the sun ~

with rain, wind and snow ~ 

those everyday things.

Universal declarations 

are the songs that they sing.

“He was quick and alert in the things of life, 

but only in the things, not in their significance.”

~ Jack London, To Build a Fire
