Configuring the Archives OR Placing the 'I' in History
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._N._Taber
Every day, we make a little history by whatever we say and do or choose not to say and do, or simply forget to say and do, whatever the case may be.
Come
tomorrow, today’s Here-and-Now is already history, a an essential part in the
history of our personal space if but a miniscule cog in the rolling wheel that
is Earth’s past-present-future …
CONFIGURING THE ARCHIVES or PLACING THE 'I' IN HISTORY
One
early spring,
I
spotted swallows returning,
and
before long,
chicks
were feeding in a nest
by
my window,
and
in no time at all, I'm thrilling
to watching them winging
April
skies, bringing such songs of cheer
as
the human heart holds dear
Summer,
it came,
and
mind-body-spirit on a roll
for
taking its cue
from
Earth Mother’s delight
in
seeing nature
and
human nature taking on such
joie
de vivre as humanity
chooses
for cover, if only to shield its lies
(for fears?) from prying eyes
Autumn
shed leaves,
such
as humanity lets tears fall
as
wintry days threaten
any
winning ways the world
may
care to invent
by
way of its keeping any falls from grace
out
of sight, out of mind,
while
few of us as fooled as it likes to believe,
making
the most of any reprieve
Swallows
flown south,
a
wintry world in mourning for seasons
come
and gone,
human
nature taking its cue
from a barn owl
last spotted following such instincts
for survival as humankind
feeding
on whatever likely prey happens by,
nor excluding the likes of you and I
Such
beginnings, endings, and in-between lives
as configuring all Earth’s archives...
