The tides are in our veins, we still mirror the stars, life is your child, but there is in me
Older and harder than life and more impartial, the eye that watched before there was an ocean. – Robinson Jeffers
You Didn’t Come Into this World
You Came Out of this World
Life cycles through channels of renewal and decay
The all is within everything
And everything is within us all
The beginning and the end are one
As we are one with eternity
You didn’t awaken in this world
You are awakened by this world
There is no separation between man and nature
Nature is a part of every fiber, every sinew
Man should walk within nature’s cathedrals and sepulchers
With reverence and respect, and without malice
Our minds’ are the pivots of perception
Spinning outward dissipates
Turning inward accumulates
The vital spirit melds with grace
Boundless blessings radiate love
Follow the way that is true to you
Honor the world that is parent to you
Bless life with joy’s enduring light
Cherish each breath of earthly paradise
