2025 February #004.
Between petals and parsecs
A golden form finds rest
Not in steel chambers or neon labs
But where wild flowers test
The boundaries of belonging
Steam rises like nebulae
From clay-bound vessels small
While yellow blooms mirror alien skin
Nature makes her call
Across light-years of difference
We built our telescopes reaching up
Searching distant stars
Never guessing first contact might come
Through teacups and garden paths
Simple rituals bridging space
Mindfulness flows universal
Through consciousness unknown
As Earth's garden becomes embassy
Where seeds of peace are sown
In afternoon's quiet glow
No grand proclamations here
No protocols to mind
Just shared silence speaking volumes
As species intertwined
Learn beauty's common tongue
The blanket spreads like cosmic sea
A soft space set apart
Where understanding blooms unforced
As worlds drift heart to heart
Through contemplation's dance
