we are all leaves
from different trees
we color the world
with our changes of color
shapes, sizes, seasons
and hues
different
yet the same...
we live in the same forest
making the world
we know
more interesting
more joyful
to experience
why do humans
cut down forests
for progress
for profit
for greed?
why?
why do humans
make it so complicated
by judging others
by our differences?
is it about fear?
negativity?
does our technology
breed competition to out do
another
to make the most money?
why?
they can't take it with them.
why is so imperative
some should have
so much more
than another?
why?
for what purpose?
to feel better?
more powerful than another?
more secure?
what? why?
wouldn't it be nice
to see sports teams
representing and
playing for charities?
where both teams contribute portions
of their proceeds to their charity?
more television programing
like Secret Millionaire
Undercover Boss
Extreme Home Make Over Home Edition
more feel good programing...
how about programming
with a panel of experts
and viewers can log in or
call in to get expert advice
for free...
(what a concept!)
what about political
parties setting an example
to show the country
how to get along?
how about a movement
to be kind to one another
or to treat everyone
like a member
of one's own family?
everyone wants
to feel loved,
safe,
significant,
wanted,
accepted
and to have a purpose...
so why try to take it away from them?
what about professionals,
sports figures,
famous celebrities
and millionaires
donating their valuable time
to teach in schools
or hold classes
with the unemployment offices?
why not?
why can't they share
their skills and knowledge?
what about neighborhoods
getting to know one another?
having a list of names, phone numbers
and emails to keep in touch
have pot lucks
assist in ride sharing
helping in emergencies
sharing skills and knowledge
getting to know one another
networking
brainstorming
helping with child care
pet sitting
so many possibilities...
we can't allow
technology
to take away
the human element
of touch...
to have eye to eye contact
listening
to communicate with
another's soul
to have eye to eye contact
listening
to communicate with
another's soul
many humans
enjoy the forest
nature
the out of doors
it gives them peace
relaxation
calm
yet...how many
see the comparison...
the example
as a possible solution
for mankind?
there is so much peace
in simplicity
less complication
in forgiveness
joy in gratitude
understanding in appreciation
freedom in acceptance
fulfillment
in making another smile...
why don't we see it more?
why does it have to be
scarcity or excess?
