June 21

I.
June twenty-first
Environment comes first.
Warm summer days and nights,
if only we'd build the infrastructure
we need to meet all of our needs.
Sufficient rain to run the bath,
water the farms, nourish for health.
II.
Summertime, summertime
delicious retreat
Warms days and nights
is the hot and cold balance right?
Mild weather, not too much to ask?.
It took me as long to evolve
to take it, as it took to
evolve to make it.
But pray, plead, wish for
days of comfortable temperature.
III.
I like the seasons, but I like them to be
manageable.
Didn't we, as our ancestors, chant and dance
for specific results each day, month and year.
Celebrations to confirm our happiness
and concerns with the many aspects of weather.
Agreeing together on whatever we wanted
for the grasses and snows and rivers and ice floes,
agreeing toward flowers and fields and animals.
It heals.
It heals to agree and it heals to conserve.
Make our minds one with concepts of
temperature mirth. 


                            Also:  Today I saw the Earth smiling at me from the drain when I used Dr. Bronner's Baby Unscented Organic Sugar Soap on the kitchen dishes.  Days before, I was asked to try to avoid detergent on those things with food on them, the Earth said, 'do you put a little detergent on things you eat?'  I understood something.  I said, 'would you rather have unscented?'  The answer was 'yes'.
