Yes, loving our world is complicated and messy, but I don't think we have much choice except love it, and if not, maybe we can just accept it as is.

In response to "The Prompt"

Absolutely! I agree with you. After a certain time in our lives, circumstances permitting, we can create ourselves. The problem, if there's a problem, lies with our paying far too much attention to what others may say. As you pointed out, mostly, external creation leads to self-creation.

In response to "The wasteland"

Awesome response. The poem Wasteland poem was also written shortly after the ending of World War I and there were many areas that looked like wasteland so it's an effective reminder of what man is capable of doing. Also in earlier times when battles were more dependent on good weather typically April the troops would stir after their winter encampments and begin fighting again. Another sad reminder of man's creating wasteland and burials of the dead.

Nice entry and I agree. Failure is a teacher but not always, and it is not for everyone.

In response to "THE STORY OF “PIPAL TREE” ON SUKHNA LAKE"

In Japan I saw very old trees. In the USA trees are not always valued for their "inner spirit" nor the joy they give others. One tree I saw in Takayama was 800+ years old. Americans cannot fathom that.

In response to "Tramp"

Well done!

Not only do you summarize one of Chaplin's movies - City Lights (and I do believe the flower girl was blind) - but you manage to weave in Chaplin's life story and why 'The Tramp' was created in the first place.

He came from nothing and became such an icon, all while showing the world that you did not have to lose your humanity in the process.

Thanks for joining me in celebrating Charlie Chaplin's 136th birthday with your tribute!

Yes, I agree. Fascist/autocratic/theocratic states in Russia and the USA will force Europe and Canada into a partnership that may benefit the world. May they be the light going forward.

My Answer

"Do you love this world? Do you cherish your humble and silky life? Do you adore the green grass, with its terror beneath?"
Mary Oliver
Please respond to Mary Oliver's questions.

Ah, Mary Oliver's words always strike a chord.
Yes, I do love this world. It's a messy, complicated love, full of awe and frustration in equal measure. I cherish this fleeting, human life – the small moments of connection, the warmth of the sun on my skin, the taste of good food. It's not always silky; often it's rough and challenging, but it's mine, and it's precious.
And the green grass... yes, I adore it. The way it feels cool and soft underfoot, the vibrant color that signals life and growth. But I also recognize the "terror beneath." The unseen insects teeming, the constant struggle for survival happening just below the surface. It's a reminder that beauty and fragility often coexist, that life is both a gift and a fierce battle.
There's a profound beauty in acknowledging both the wonder and the inherent dangers of this world. It makes the moments of joy and peace all the more meaningful.
