Aspiration

Walden pond is fantasy. A child turning the stand of trees along a fence line into the mythical wild. It's an author being brought meals and snacks as he stays at a summer cabin. So, luxury, can give rise to innovation, as this lauded literature is born of a silver platter coddled in crust cut cucumber sandwiches. We used to have oceans so thick with cod that one is said to be able to walk on the back of the school. Floating bridge of flounder, teeming mass suppporting bipedal locomotion. So many flowers burst in colour and life along the dike. A sod slope of bee friendly habitat, keeping the river and ocean out of the urbanized estuary. Beyond this protective structure, habitat for falcons, hawks, eagles, herons, cormorants, mallards, widgeons, wildlife galore. Can our lives be a dance that graces the world in harmony? Photons just are, the ocean just is, and in that being is so much magnificence.
