To Remember

Yoda says:‘You must unlearn what you have learned’.

But how to sift through years of learning,

finding lessons that no longer serve?

When swathed in a cherished memory

the goodness of the lesson will always be close

But those painted with a tarnished memory ~ chained to your soul ~ no longer serve.

To remember an event does not tell of the lesson ~

When your head bows down in the face of kind words,

When you want to turn away from even the easiest challenge

Such lessons do not allow satisfaction in life,

prevent boldness in walking through storms and 

Yoda says: ‘You must unlearn what you have learned’.

“Your path you must decide.”

~ Yoda

Sky Drift and Magic

There are too many negatives to find a positive in Murphy's Laws unless I pull my head out of any confusing clouds, 

turning my eyes to the sky where horsetail clouds drift. 

~horsetails my father told me~

so much more enchanting than Cirrus Uncinus to find the magic and wonder of childhood 

in this morning’s skies  ~ 

a vast and beautiful positive 

sweeping the too many negatives away in the wind.

“Revelations are found 

in the clouds.”

~ Serge Kahili King

Survival Challenge

‘Nature always sides with the hidden flaw’

Ah, Murphy ~ another challenge laid before man ~ to play hide and seek with Mother Nature.

If we ignore any of the flaws of this world, she will not bend to our will but we to hers.

“For most of history, man has had to fight nature to survive; 

in this century he is beginning to realize that, 

in order to survive, he must protect it.

~Jacques-Yves Cousteau
