Lessons From Nature

The Heretic presents: A poem of Natural Dis-Order, of Natural Care:

Lessons From Nature

Sitting peacefully in warmth upon a bench,
From nature my lesson to learn arriving
A beetle crawling across the ground,
Towards my feet he made his way
Like a soldier in march, advancing forward
Taking my foot lightly kicking him to the side
Not wanting to kill, but removing from my space
Laying there motionless, terrified to move
Watching for a long time, as if paralyzed he lay
My thoughts determined--- he was not dead
A sense of guilt overwhelming, what did I do?
Some how relating, seeing my life laying before me
How many times have I been kicked aside?
Leaving me full of fear and distrust, afraid to get up
Suddenly feeling a connection, to this living creature
Picking him up, no longer in fear of the unknown
On a nearby bush, upon a leaf I placed gently
With his trust restored, walking away quietly
Then it hit me; life is so much like this---
A need for some one to care enough to help
Lifting us back up, planting our feet firmly once more
Thoughts coming to me, if I had not cared
The next person passing by, could have stepped,
Ending his life as he lay afraid to go on
Even though my pushing him aside, I had not killed
But setting him up for his possible death
Realizing he is not but a bug,
But who am I to end his life---
Am I no better than he is, if I act like this?
Do we just kick others out of our way?
Who are we or what are we, to act with such neglect
Leaving them in their perils, selfishly not caring.

i couldnt even imagine what it would be like not to see animals and fish as people, thats why I don't see how eating people is so taboo. It's all bad. When I play with bugs, its very obvious they know whats going on. I communicate with the plants, that I plant. They talk too, just look at them when they're thirsty, it's VERY obvious. You can tell that I'm not insane. I think the people who don't live like this are really gonna be fucked up when this thing comes, or happens, or whatever.

Too many Bug Squashers on OUR Earth. Psychopaths to kill without regard.

Something tells me the Psychopaths’ Destroyer is HERE.

Happy 2012 (for the Good Beings)

It is OUR Playground NOW.

Morphic Resonance for those Peace Loving Beings TUNED to Nature’s Frequency.

Praise Be for Phi.

i always save spiders.... and any insect that happens across my path....I dont like touching them... I guess I am conditioned that way... well, i guess some dont freak me out... I catch them in a glass and put them in the garden....My little son is the same way. We had ants invade our bathroom and he said "MOM!! what do we do? We cant kill them."

Masterpiece!

Truth.

The ignorant are in TROUBLE. It’s ELE for those that CHOOSE NOT to COMMUNE.

Good Riddance, but saddening.

Respect the Nature that GIVES US AIR TO BREATH! And THAT is just the beginning.

The HEAD Plant Spake:

If you want to Live then you had better start taking Cannabis Oil. Grow Cannabis and Sunflowers to Phytoremediate (eliminate radiation) Fukushima Filth.

Get IT or DIE. Your choice. It is that serious and the SOLUTION is that SIMPLE.

May Peace Prevail on Earth.

humans are self absorbed, scared little bitches.

Deeply moving, brings to mind how curious it is that I can sometimes find it easier to truly care for the plight of an animal or endangered species than those of my own kind. Shouldn't be so, but there you have it. Thanks once again Patrick for firing up the synapses.
