Then , wisdom grew from fruit
We were winged and freedom
was etched on the soles of our feet
We knew nurturing green earth
and deep blue ocean fed skies
The pathways of earth and heaven
were known not charted
We stepped naked into the blazing sun
bared ourselves to golden rivers and
awesome tidal thunder
scattered like stardust

It is said there was a time when wisdom grew from fruit. It is also said the fruit was eaten. What happened to wisdom? Did it evaporate in under the blazing sun? Or get washed away in the currents of the golden rivers? Oh yes! It was scattered like stardust.

Thank you Chuck. I appreciate your thinking of me. Recently my friends mother and father were admitted and her Mom is on a ventilator itโs looking pretty bad. Unfortunately they listened to the lies of the Trump base and refused masking and distancing. Itโs really heartbreaking. I advise every to wear a mask , in fact double masking is a good idea with the variants out there. Stay well ! โค๏ธ๐ท

Oh no! I’m so very sorry to hear this terrible news for your friends! It is a shame and criminal in my opinion to have had the President and his supporters telling lies that end up being the cause of people’s deaths. I have seen and read of similar situations and it is simply heart wrenching because it did not have to be but for the Big Lie! Thanks for the recommendation. I will start double masking to be “sure”!
Hope you have a great week!
