Beyond Boundaries

 

Imagine...
the possibilities.
Step out of the fears
of perceived reality
long enough to honor that some things
just can not be explained,
rationalized or quantified,
sorted or packaged.

 

Believe...
that wings of butterflies
can create
storms on the other side of the world.

 

Imagine...
that what we think we know
is only the scratching of the surface
of a deeper pool
of possibilities.

 

Believe...
that magic and ideals
are in the understanding
that we can never truly comprehend
the complete hows and whys
no matter how hard we try.

 

Imagine...
that there is more to what we see
than what we see
in the infinite sea
of possibilities.

 

Believe...
that somewhere in the questions
lies the purest answers.

 

Regardless of the proof
is the knowing.

 

In the knowing
is the being.

In the being
is the one
which enraptures
and enwraps
us all
in the infinite.

 

Possibilities that continue to unfold
as the bud of a flower
to the sun.
Petal by petal
opening and embracing
of the light, of something greater than ourselves,
yet at the same time
a vital,
integral
part of ourselves.

 

An opening,
an awakening
to the oneness that is us,
to the oneness that is all.

In 1997 Julia Butterfly Hill climbed up an ancient Redwood to save it from being felled.

She stayed in the tree for over two years before the timber company agreed not to cut it down

(nor any of the trees immediately surrounding it).

Julia has since been involved in environmental advocacy and

has worked tirelessly in support of indigenous peoples around the world.

 

 

Campaigner and environmental activist Julia Butterfly Hill

reflects on the concept of sustainability and what it will take to make it mainstream.

She talks about the power of individual action and says that sharing solutions is

a key driver in furthering the transition to a more sustainable world.

 

 

:::The Circle of Life::: by Ilias Sounas

 

 

Circle of Life 

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
Some say eat or be eaten
Some say live and let live
But all are agreed as they join the stampede
You should never take more than you give
In the Circle of Life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
Till we find our place
on the path unwinding
In the Circle, the Circle of Life
Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps the great and small on the endless round
on the path unwinding
In the Circle, the Circle of Life.

Lion King _ Circle of Life _ Elton John
