My, oh my, did you see that sky

Sunrise to sunset

It can take your breath away

In the darkest night

A million stars make us wonder

How could we be so wrapped up in who we are

When in doubt just watch a star

Paul Kantner once wrote

“Have you seen the stars tonight

Would like to go up on a deck and look at them with me”

Our world is small in the vastness of the universe

Small but full and amazing

My, oh my, did you see the sky

Isn’t it amazing how simple and complex the world is

Have you looked at the majesty of a mountain top

When have you taken the time to marvel at the veins in a leaf

Hydrogen and Oxygen melt their structure to form water

The sun evaporates the water while clouds miraculously collect it

And distribute it elsewhere

Without its presence we could not exist

Bees are busy at work pollinating plants to feed a growing population

The sun provides light to show us the way

It starts the cycle of photosynthesis

Plants breathe in carbon dioxide and emit the oxygen we need

The air that we breathe fills our lungs and gives us life

Gravity keeps us in place, but not so much that we can’t jump for joy

Isn’t it amazing how simple and complex the world is

A simple cell builds life, how is it possible

We touch, we smell, we see, we hear, we speak

We taste and savor, form our words and tell a story

We grow, we learn, we see and observe

As a people we interact, learn, and teach

Our hands convey our feelings

Our minds try to figure things out

We design, create and build

We collaborate and take what the earth has to offer

We mold it, break it down, re-assemble and present something new

We love and live, bond and smile, laugh and cry

A simple cell builds life, how is it possible

The freedom to choose is a gift and a curse

Some view the world through rose colored glasses

Others find fault with everything around

We choose to believe and follow

Sometimes with an open mind and mindful thought

Other times through emotion and reaction

Some see others as demons in disguise

While others embrace difference as life’s great offering

Some love unconditionally while others hate with reckless abandon

Some chose to lift up while others prefer to tear down

Some give life while others take it away

Power and money trump reason and respect

Us versus them versus united we stand

The freedom to choose is a gift and a curse

Oh my, oh my, did you see the sky

Isn’t it amazing how simple and complex the world is

A simple cell builds life, how is it possible

The freedom to choose is a gift and a curse

Relish where we are, who we are, what we have, and what we know

Time is short, don’t miss the chance

To relish life and make the world a better place

To breathe the air, to see the mountain top, to raise a glass and engage in life’s dance

Let 2022 be the year that we learn from our mistakes

And move forward – together

Happy New Year
