There is no greater aroma than what you inhale when you walk through a forest of trees... there is no more heavenly experience than witnessing and being caught in the energy stream of the morning sunlight at dawn... there is no place like being on a beach while looking out to the horizon as the sun sets below the waves... there is no more invigorating sound than the chorus of bird song that heralds both the beginning and the end of every day... there is no more awe-inspiring sight than seeing planet Earth glow like a pearl as it spins against the darkness of space... there is no more humbling experience than looking down at all the life and the light that thrives and shines below as our world silently turns on its axis and is orbited by its own celestial offspring, The Moon... there is no more ethereal wonder to witness than the beautiful rippling energy strands of the auroras of both the Northern and Southern hemispheres created when the sun physically reaches out touches the thin translucent veil of our world's atmosphere... there is no more perfect moment than looking up at the stars from the ground, seeing the constellations, seeing other planets within our solar system, and realizing that everything and everyone in the universe is connected... there is so much more to life on Earth and in the cosmos that we have yet to discover... there is so much more to a place and a time than can ever be captured or ever truly imagined... there is so much more that humanity can achieve together if only they were able to put aside their differences and talk to each other... there is so much to be found when you start wandering and wondering about the greatest gift in existence: the magical oasis of life that is the environment of nature.

My Poem “Visionary” – Happy National Poetry Day!
No matter what you see,
no matter how you feel,
no matter what you hear,
no matter what is going on
in the world around you,
no matter if the sky above
is cloudy instead of blue,
as long as you have within you
a vision and a view that you can
look to
every time you need to
to give your thoughts, your feelings,
and your emotions a boost –
whether what you look to is a place
like a beach or a city,
or whether who you look to a person
like someone who you love and who loves you:
that vision of hope, that may be a memory
from recently or from long ago,
that always has a power to enthrall,
to inspire, and to rejuvenate you
is the poetry of your mind and your soul
that has been brought into being
over the course of your life –
like a dream fueled by who and what
you imagine night after night –
which gives the gift of a voice
to everybody on Earth –
both old and young –
who have a story to be told
and a song to be heard
that continues, connects,
and contributes to epic experiment
of life and the poetic experience
that is the world within our universe.
Happy National Poetry Day! 😊
My Poem “Mr. Write”
I write early in the morning,
I write late at night…
I write when the rain is pouring,
I write when the sun shines bright…
I write what I feel,
I write what I believe,
I write what is real,
I write what I see…
I write from my own perspective,
I write from my own experience,
I write with my own voice, and when
I write that makes all the difference…
I write about my thoughts,
I write about my dreams,
I write about all sorts,
I write about what inspires me…
I write because I must…
I write because I cherish the gifts of life…
I write because to me inspiration is like star-dust…
I write because I would not be me if I did not write.
Happy National Poetry Day!
