Ancient Pulse

The solar arc turns southward
as the high days of long light
begin their descent to autumn.
The aberration of war continues
yet beneath layers of leaf and root
an older rhythm commands
rivers to the sea, hummingbirds
to cross the broad equator and soul
to gather the ancient pulse
into a new day.

    and gather we will
    to allow the pulse to be broad
    resilent
    to ride the tide of change…

    Thanks for your ever present words

    Note the ancient pulse of a super-nova, visible between stars 1 and 2 of the handle of the Big Dipper constellation, whose explosion occurred some millions of years ago in earth-time, its unfolding story only reaching us now, maybe visible through October. Its not in the handle but out a bit, forming a triangle with the first 2 stars of the handle. Go to an observatory for best view. Detectable view possible with binochulars.

    Let that ancient pulse guide us through our tragic disconnection with nature. It is a presence that is spread out across the world that tells us that there is so much more than our ideologies.
