As 2011 comes to an end, some of us may be looking back on it and thinking about various amazing events, good and bad, that have taken place on our planet.
Although Earth has a mess on it's hands, many good things have occurred and
it sometimes seems as though a shift might be happening.
Someone once said, 'change doesn't need everyone to make it happen, it just needs enough.'
I am and will remain hopeful for the future.
Ode To Enchanted Light
Under the trees light
has dropped from the top of the sky,
light
like a green
latticework of branches,
shining
on every leaf,
drifting down like clean
white sand.
A cicada sends
its sawing song
high into the empty air.
The world is
a glass overflowing
with water.
Pablo Neruda
