INSIDE

1
I have often thought of the world like a snow-globe when trying to explain the effect of all of us humans and our endeavors on the planet. I am not sure why it came up when I started writing on Sunday, and had no idea it would go where it did.  I have learned to go where the words take me. In the political whiplash of the last 2 weeks I fear we have lost sight of where all this is taking place.                                                                                                                  What might happen in the future won't matter if there is no place in which to live. I haven't forgotten, and I urge all of us to keep paying attention, making demands for everything that can halt or even reverse the current rate of Global Warming.

The world is really just a big snow-globe.
You know, like we had as kids
- little houses and trees and creatures  
inside their glass world -

and we are flakes in it.

It's a closed system -
a planet, water, atmosphere -
and it all goes round and round
recycling back and forward.

It fits neatly inside its own perfect globe.
