All from Earth

and to Earth we all return,

back into Gaia’s composting womb.

 

I brought nothing when I came into this Identity

and neither did you.

I will leave this Identity taking nothing with me,

and so will you.

 

What meaning,

which purposes and practices,

seem most sane

healthy

graceful

noble

good,

knowing how each starts

then ends

a (0)-sum balanced economy?

We each withdraw

with lifetime boundaried precision

what we bought into at conception.

 

How does this eco-prime transaction,

double boundaried,

eclipsing short-term risks and opportunities of ego-identity,

inform my, our, karmic evolution,

ecological grace,

our mutually interwoven roots and flowers,

weeping revolutionary Earth-bound Tree of Life?

 

If each life concludes as compost,

to enrich or further poison future generations,

and usually some of both,

which grade of compost do you prefer

to sustain our EarthTribe dream?
