beach

It beats the sand with waves of motion And traps the shells with gentle care It soothes my soul with sounds like lotion Entraps my sight with just a glare   The wind surrounds me like a shadow Which follows me until I run Waves its goodbyes with flocks of seagulls And circles round just like the sun   The sky surrounds me with its calmness As though the clouds are friends to me I gaze to find one cloud a goddess I blink to find a bumble bee   The sand a golden field of pebbles Which slightly hold and dress my feet The air is full of sounds and feathers Which land around me in defeat   This … [Continue reading...]

KalaRhythms, The Cycles of Change – David Katzmire

March 19, 2013 By Leave a Comment

http://kalarhythms.org/ Patterns are encoded in the human experience, encrypted in the anecdotal evidence of our behavior and decoded here in the map of time.

Replacing old competition among nationalistic hierarchies is a rising tide of … [Continue reading...]
