Prairie Warbler

This grand show is eternal.
It is always sunrise somewhere;
the dew is never dried all at once;
a shower is forever falling;
vapor is ever rising.
Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset,
eternal dawn and gloaming,
on sea and continents and islands,
each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.
John Muir
It is always sunrise somewhere is an idea that has often crossed my mind. And the world is teeming with people and other creatures, experiencing the sunrise, the sunset and everything in between. Mind boggling. Uncanny how we live in our own bubbles, usually unaware of this totality, of everything going on all at once.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully said, Dominic!. When we open our hearts, broaden our perspectives, and sharpen our senses, we realize immediately that we are but one spark in the magical light show that is life. Sadly, as you say, we inevitably fall back into our bubbles, "unaware of this totality."
ReplyDeleteThat's one of my favorite Muir quotes. Such a sunny little warbler. Hope you had a good spring, George.
