What a thoughtful meditation on entanglement and our connection to the universe. The way every breath, every grief, every joy is part of the Earth’s ongoing story.
This piece is a testament to the ontological fact that what happens to you happens to the world by virtue of your being in it.
Thank you for such a beautiful poem. I felt it deserved a response of its own:
The years roll on beneath the sun
Through all the good and all the bad
So love the ones who share the run
And do not stay too long in sad
The dog still runs across the grass
His tail aloft and spirit glad
A lesson in the present tense
And do not stay too long in sad
For time is all we truly hold
No more is promised than is had
So treasure those who walk beside
And do not stay too long in sad
I can’t love this enough, James. What a perfect and wonderful reply.
Thank you for the kind words, and perfect response with a very important reminder not to tarry in the pain.

We truly are all a little sad. It’s impossible not to be, I think. The melancholy in this is like a metronome.
You really have a knack for rhythm Mandy, and emotional weight
Thanks, Chris!

You are so welcome!
