Convergence in Nature, detail of mural by A V Rotor

How many falls do you tumble all the time?

And songs you sing in rhythm and rhyme?

Oh, you are simply filled with awe and joy.

And I, I wish I were forever a boy.

I ride on your crest, plunge into your floor,

Inside your womb I'm a child once more,

Together we flow, and I'm weaned out to sea

To tell the world of a beautiful story.

"If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere."

—Laura Ingalls Wilder

Living pillars make a temple of nature,

     bridge the land and the sky,

home of creatures both big and small,

     seen and unseen by the eye.

Atop epiphytes make a living crown

     of humble praise and glory,

in music and prayer night and day,

     in an unending story.

Beside rows of trees make a column,

     like soldiers in the battlefield,

a fort they make to keep a safe place,

     a home and a living shield.

Thoreau's Walden lives to this day,

     life's truly a community;

Darwin's treatise is short of wisdom,

     peace, unity and piety.

Ephemeral is our world sages say,

     save sweet memory;

convergence makes it truly the key

     to oneness and eternity. ~
