Super fabulous

is what this morning is

went out with my second cuppa and

saw this.....

nothing like a spider web high up in a tree

catching the morning light

to wipe the world away for a minute

no racism up there

no hatred for a whole section of humans

no myopic

xenophobs

up there!

Just nature doing what it does

even with the violence that must take place when no one is looking!!!

Spiders kill to eat

period.

Not for sport

or money

or hate

or twisted

malformed ideas

they don't have small minds

and big mouths

so I continued

and saw the first rays

touching the leaves on the

Japanese Maple

bright clear crisp

pure

as it is every morning

before the "world" touches it

and

pollutes it

this little thing

even though he would sting me in a nanosecond

and cause me pain

would do it to defend himself

so I left him to his morning drink

and let the others buzzing around me

in too.

I have no business interrupting him

and trying to change his habits.

this bush is ready to bloom

again

even though there has been very little rain

and the long dry spell is getting worse by the hour

it does what it was made to do

bloom where it stands

shame we don't let those around us bloom

by being better than those we claim to be better than

no one is better than anyone else

if what you spread are educated thoughts

facts that are factual

and not some convoluted rubbish

twisted  to suit your bull crap agenda

all in the name of some deity you made up to sooth your sick mind

this little one would have maybe grown up to be a mighty oak

but the husband

brought it in to me

and its life was interrupted

like so many lives have been

because we insist that we are right and they are wrong

and our gods are bigger and better than their gods

and the only way they can prove it is by

fire

a fire that comes from

guns

or bombs

or minds so small and frightened

they burn with hatred so hot

it may start a fire we won't be able to put out.
