We can not walk
without placing our
feet upon a past life.
Leaves layered, give
way to decay
to nourish the next.
What ground can I
cultivate with shelter
for those neglected seeds
that are tomorrow’s hope?

“shelter / for those neglected seeds / that are tomorrow’s hope”
Fantastic guidance.
The planet needs our focus (with every footstep, every action) on tomorrow’s possibility – lest we so focus on now that we preclude tomorrow.
