One Single Thing
One Single Thing
Twenty-five hundred
years ago
Lao Tzu wrote of Tao
He said that all the
world
was one single system
one single thing
Here in the
twenty-first century
our science teaches us
the Earth
is a single biosystem
of thousand of
interrelated parts
One single system
one single thing
My friends
look at the Earths
biosystem----
The lives of species
everywhere
affect the well being
of other species
Thousands of
interrelated parts
one single system
one single thing
Like a coral with
thousands
of individual creatures
all living in a colony
to make a single
creature
Earths living
biosystems
are thousands
of individual creatures
all living in a
self-sustaining
forever evolving colony
to create
one single system
one single thing
If the Earth isn't
itself alive
it certainly has a lot
of parts that are....
One single system
one single thing
The Earth is alive
and we each are a part
of that life
The Earth is our mother
One single system
one single thing
Personally, I think
all of Earths religions
all of our science
all of our conceptions
of Gods
have been efforts to
perceive
and understand the
life,
the biosystem
that we all are a part
of
All equal in their
different conceptions
of
one single system
one single thing
I would imagine
Like any living thing
She cares very deeply
for all of her parts

The Universe Looking Back
Universe Looking Back
Who has found kindness
in themselves
is able to
touch it in others
as well
Who has found kindness
In themselves
finds friendship
wherever they go
Who has found kindness
in themselves
walks in peace
even in the most
troubled of places
Who has found kindness
in themselves
has found deep strength
in themselves as well
Who has found kindness
in themselves
is in the best agreement
with the world
Who has found kindness
in themselves
has found the truth
waiting within all things
Who has found kindness
in themselves
has found peace in
that which changes
and peace in
that which endures as well
Who has found kindness
in themselves
has looked inward
and found the universe
looking back
