I recall days of sweaty hands
Struggles meeting business plans
Awaken to my daily fears
Ask for help from far off spheres
Journeys now on familiar soil
Needs no longer an ancient foil
Sap of life flows to life’s new leaf
Reverence for life, my own belief
Hills like mountains catch my breath
Winds of change seek nature’s wealth
Random thoughts are life’s myst’ry
Will we learn from earth’s history

Thx, I needed that. 35 more years of sweaty hands for me to go..
Both beautiful and hopeful. Thanks!
exquisite word-song (work-song?) have just read 'Heat; how to keep the planet from burning' can't bring the author's name to mind. i't's settled my feet a bit deeper in the earth. so easy to get caught up in the mainstream mindlessness. your lyrical philosophy is equally grounding. blessings.
Lovely. Much to think about.

OT: I have to do a project with a group, and our topic is Christmas Around the World. We picked Australia. I'll have to come up with an Australian Christmas craft....
Lovely poem Lindsay. Do I detect a scent of retirment-pondering in there somewhere?
Lindsay, that's lovely.
Bloglines just told me you have 25 posts.
It's been slightly strange lately.
Very nice Lindsay, it was a treasure to read this poem after a long day.
Hi Dellab JBlue Gary Granny & Zee
Thanks for your thoughts,
Ju BluE~we don’t have an Australian craft, maybe Christmas cards with picture of our natives depicting Koalas, Kangaroos, Ringtail Possums all dressed with Christmas hats decorated with tinsel. Gary -I am retiring July next year, until then I encourage others but remind them in their decisions I shall not be around to share in the results longer term.
Best wishes
Lovely words!
I hope we learn from earth's history, there is so much to learn!
